In order to solve the problem that there may be gaps and bubbles in the contact interface between the electrode and the hydrogel polymer electrolyte prepared via the traditional method,which leads to the insufficient stability of the battery,a polyacrylamide-based hydrogel electrolyte composed of zinc sulfate,glycerin and acetonitrile,ZGA,is developed via in-situ polymerization at room temperature,and used to assemble aqueous zinc ion batteries for performance study.Results show that the in situ-prepared ZGA hydrogel electrolyte is well combined with the zinc anode without any gaps or bubbles.Zn//Zn symmetric battery assembled with in-situ hydrogel ZGA has a long cycle life of more than 482 days at a current density of 0.2 mA/cm2.The coulomb efficiency of Zn//Cu half cell assembled with in-situ hydrogel ZGA remains above 99% steadily.
