Title: Additive for increasing lifespan of rechargeable zinc-anode batteries

Abstract

A rechargeable battery can include a cathode, an anode current collector, an anode comprising zinc, and an electrolyte in ionic communication with both the cathode and the anode current collector. The electrolyte can include an organic ammonium halide. The organic ammonium halide can include an ammonium bromide in some instances.
