Confinement of Zinc Salt in Ultrathin Heterogeneous Film to Stabilize Zinc Metal Anode

Small, 2021
AbstractAqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs) have drawn great attention due to the high theoretical capacity, low redox potential, and abundance reserves. However, the practical application of rechargeable AZMBs are hindered by the poor reversibility of Zn metal anode, owing to easy dendrite growth and serious side reactions. Herein, the preparation of

Realizing Textured Zinc Metal Anodes through Regulating Electrodeposition Current for Aqueous Zinc Batteries

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2023
AbstractCrystallography modulation of zinc (Zn) metal anode is promising to promote Zn reversibility in aqueous electrolytes, but efficiently constructing Zn with specific crystallographic texture remains challenging. Herein, we report a current‐controlled electrodeposition strategy to texture the Zn electrodeposits in conventional aqueous electrolytes.

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

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 ...

Oriented Metal Stripping for Highly Reversible Zinc Anode

Small
AbstractAqueous zinc metal batteries are a viable candidate for next‐generation energy storage systems, but suffer from poor cycling efficiency of the Zn anode. Emerging approaches aim to regulate zinc plating behavior to suppress uncontrolled dendrites, while the stripping process is seldom considered.

Achieving highly reversible zinc metal anode via surface termination chemistry

Science Bulletin, 2023
An oxidation layer on a Zn surface is considered to play a negative role in hindering the practical applications of aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZBs). Herein, we demonstrate the importance of Zn-surface termination on the overall electrochemical behavior of AZBs by revisiting the well-known bottleneck issues.
