Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are promising low-cost and high-safety energy storage devices. However, their capacity decay especially at the initial cyclic stage is a serious issue. Herein, we reveal that the dissolved oxygen in aqueous electrolyte has significant impact on the electrochemistry...
