a Metal cation transference number and (b) effective δMn⁺ of various electrolytes; c Solvation energy of different electrolytes calculated from the statistical solvation structures. Insets are the representative solvation configurations; d the open circuit potential in cells with Zn||Zn, Cu||Cu, Fe||Fe and lithium iron phosphate||lithium iron phosphate (LFP||LFP) symmetric electrodes and asymmetric electrolytes; e Linear scanning voltammetry (LSV) curves of the ion-water aggregated electrolytes and blank electrolytes; f 1H chemical shifts of water in different electrolytes and corresponding electrolytes composition are recorded in Supplementary Table 1; g pH value of 3 m ZnSO4 and ion-water aggregated electrolytes; h DSC analysis and (i) surface tension of ZnSO4 and ion-water aggregated electrolytes. The surface tension was determined by the pendant-drop method.
