Zwitterion as a molecular additive in electrolytes

Caption

The team chose a zwitterion as a molecular additive to improve the solubility and dissociation of polyoxometalates in gel electrolytes. The zwitterion is used to dissociate the polyoxometalates, relying on the electrostatic force of positive and negative charges to interact with the polyoxometalates anion to reduce the binding effect on protons and release more active protons to improve proton conductivity.
