Abstract: Aqueous zinc-ion batteries（AZIBs） have aroused extensive attention due to their advantages of high safety, low cost, and environmental friendliness,which is suitable for user-side energy storage systems. Dealing with the dissolution of cathode materials, the dendrite formation and corrosion on Zn anode, and the narrow electrochemical window of electrolyte is the key to improve the electrochemical performances of AZIBs and realize the energy storage applications. This paper presents the current research progress of AZIBs, the issues of AZIBs, and the possible solution of the above problem. We mainly introduce the selection and modification of cathode, anode materials and electrolytes, also provide an outlook on the future development direction of AZIBs.
