Designing an Anionic Layer in Low‐Concentration Electrolytes to Promote In‐Plane Ion Diffusion for Dendrite‐Free Zinc‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An optimization model for zinc anodes centered on anion traction in a low‐concentration electrolyte system is proposed. The fluoride‐ion enriched interfacial layer on the zinc anode surface enhances the concentration of Zn2+ in a lateral direction through electrostatic forces, thereby facilitating horizontal zinc plating.
