Interfacial Engineering Boosts Highly Reversible Zinc Metal for Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2023
Zinc metal is emerging as the promising anode for aqueous Zn-ion batteries. However, corrosion and undesirable Zn dendrite growth limit their practical application in the large-scale energy storage area. Herein, a mountain-valley micro/nanostructure is successfully fabricated on the surface of the Zn anode via a femtosecond-laser filament texturing ...

Surface Engineering on Zinc Anode for Aqueous Zinc Metal Batteries

ChemSusChem
AbstractRechargeable aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs) are considered as a potential alternative to lithium‐ion batteries due to their low cost, high safety, and environmental friendliness. However, the Zn anodes in AZMBs face severe challenges, such as dendrite growth, metal corrosion, and hydrogen evolution, all of which are closely related to the

Step by Step Induced Growth of Zinc‐Metal Interface on Graphdiyne for Aqueous Zinc‐Ion Batteries

Angewandte Chemie, 2023
AbstractRechargeable aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) promise high energy density, low redox potential, low cost and safety; however, their cycle performances are seriously insufficient to restrict the progress in this field. We propose a new concept of atomic electrode formed on the graphdiyne (GDY).

Bulk‐Phase Reconstruction Enables Robust Zinc Metal Anodes for Aqueous Zinc‐Ion Batteries

Angewandte Chemie, 2023
AbstractAqueous zinc‐ion batteries are inherently safe, but the severe dendrite growth and corrosion reaction on zinc anodes greatly hinder their practical applications. Most of the strategies for zinc anode modification refer to the research of lithium metal anodes on surface regulation without considering the intrinsic mechanisms of zinc anode ...

Carbon Dioxide Evolution in Aqueous Zinc Metal Batteries

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces
Gas evolution reactions in aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs) cause gas accumulation and battery swelling that negatively affect their performance. However, previous work often reported hydrogen as the main, if not the only, gas species evolved in AZMBs; the complexity of gas evolution has been overlooked.

Metal-Hydroxide Organic Frameworks for Aqueous Nickel-Zinc Batteries

Nano Letters
Hydroxides exhibit a high theoretical capacity for energy storage by ion release and are often intercalated with anions to enhance the ion migration kinetics. In this study, a series of metal-hydroxide organic frameworks (MHOFs) are synthesized by intercalating aromatic organic linkers into hydroxides using I-M/Ni(OH)2 (where M = Co2+, Cu2+, Mg2+, Fe2+)

Improving Aqueous Zinc Ion Batteries with Alkali Metal Ions

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces
Aqueous zinc (Zn) ion batteries have received broad attention recently. However, their practical application is limited by severe Zn dendrite growth and the hydrogen evolution reaction. In this study, three alkali metal ions (Li+, Na+, and K+) are added in ZnSO4 electrolytes, which are subjected to electrochemical measurements and molecular dynamics ...
