When cooled, the strengthening and ordering of the hydrogen-bond (HB) network, together with slowed ion diffusion and altered solvation\/desolvation equilibria, can simultaneously reduce conductivity and destabilize electrode interfaces. These coupled effects translate into pronounced polarization, poor zinc plating\/stripping reversibility and accelerated performance decay. This mini-review discusses electrolyte advances for low-temperature ZIBs from a physicochemical perspective. We first outline how HB reorganization, Zn2+ solvation structure and ion\u2013solvent interactions collectively govern freezing behaviour, transport kinetics and interfacial reactions. We then survey representative design strategies, including concentration-driven electrolytes, organic co-solvents, eutectic systems and anti-freeze hydrogels, to show how distinct routes can reduce water activity, maintain liquid-like dynamics and promote stable interphases under sub-zero conditions. Finally, we highlight emerging concepts, such as solvation-entropy regulation, chaotropic\/kosmotropic ion effects and field- or cycling-induced interphase formation, and discuss the remaining gaps towards transferable design descriptors and practical all-climate zinc batteries.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>This article is part of the theme issue \u2018Electrolytes within the domain of electrochemistry and electrochemical energy storage\u2019.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1098\/rsta.2025.0285","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,8]],"date-time":"2026-10-08T07:02:26Z","timestamp":1791442946000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Advanced electrolytes for low-temperature zinc-ion batteries"],"prefix":"10.1098","volume":"384","author":[{"given":"Ziqi","family":"Jiang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Advanced Technologies of Materials (Ministry of Education), School of Materials Science and Engineering, Institute of Future Technology, Southwest Jiaotong University 1 , Chengdu, 610031, People\u2019s Republic of China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jie","family":"Deng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Food and Biological Engineering, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Chengdu University 2 , Chengdu 610106, People\u2019s Republic of China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Olivier","family":"Fontaine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Molecular Science and Engineering, Vidyasirimedhi Institute of Science and Technology (VISTEC) 3 , Rayong 21210, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xuanze","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Materials Science and Engineering, Nankai University 4 , Tianjin, 300350, People\u2019s Republic of China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8057-3754","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yachao","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Advanced Technologies of Materials (Ministry of Education), School of Materials Science and Engineering, Institute of Future Technology, Southwest Jiaotong University 1 , Chengdu, 610031, People\u2019s Republic of China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"175","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026100803021851000_RSTA20250285C1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"712","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jechem.2020.06.016","article-title":"Recent advances in energy storage mechanism of aqueous zinc-ion batteries","volume":"54","author":"Chen","year":"2021","journal-title":"J.
