Encapsulating Zinc Powder in MXene/Silk Scaffolds with Zincophilic‐Hydrophobic Polymer for Flexible Zinc‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work develops flexible zinc‐ion batteries (FZIBs) using a zincophilic/hydrophobic polymer (thermoplastic polycarbonate‐based polyurethane, TPCU) to protect Zn powder anodes and MXene/Silk (MXS) as flexible current collectors. The designed TPCU‐ZnP@MXS structure enables uniform Zn deposition, yielding dendrite‐free anodes with stable cycling ...

Hydroxylated Ionic Liquids as Functional Additives for Stable Aqueous Zn Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A hydroxyl‐functionalized ionic liquid additive (HO‐EMImTfO) regulates Zn2+ solvation and electrodeposition by forming a stable ion‐diversion dam at the Zn interface. This design mitigates Zn pulverization, suppresses dendrite growth, and reduces side reactions, enabling Zn||Cu and Zn||V2O5 cells to achieve exceptional cycling stability and efficiency.
