The electrochemical behavior of Zn deposition in room temperature ionic liquids consisting of bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide (TFSA−) combined withN‐propyl‐N‐methylpyrrolidinium (Pyr1,3+) or 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium (EMI+) was investigated in terms of their physicochemical properties and dissolved Zn2+species. The effect of cation structure was examined not only on the macroscopic morphologies, but also on the microscopic aspects of crystallographic orientation of Zn deposits obtained from [Zn(TFSA)2]0.1[Cation‐TFSA]0.9. Electron backscattered diffraction revealed that the crystal grains grown in Pyr1,3‐TFSA at the current density of 0.5 mA cm−2were much finer, compared with the sizes of those in EMI‐TFSA. This is probably because Pyr1,3cations inhibit the surface diffusion of Zn adatoms, thus preventing growth in a specific plane direction. It was found that higher reversibility on Zn stripping needs larger crystal grains rather than polycrystalline with fine grains. The obtained results will contribute greatly to the realization of longer life batteries using Zn without resource constraints.
