a 3D snapshots of HESE and partially enlarged snapshots for the solvation structure of Zn2+. b Distribution of first solvation structures. c Zn K-edge XANES spectra, d Wavelet transform contour plots of Zn K-edge at R-space, and e EXAFS analysis of the k-space spectrum. f The proportion of three types of V-O-H bonds obtained from Raman spectral fitting. g The radial distribution functions and coordination number of Zn2+-O, h Average Zn2+ cluster sizes at 300 K. i Wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) curves. j The Zn-ion self-diffusion coefficient (DZn) means squared displacement collected from MD simulations in two electrolyte solutions. k A summary of image snapshot with side and frontal view of the anode-electrolyte interface of HESE at negative potential, zero potential, and positive potential, respectively.
