Strategies for Optimizing the Zn Anode/Electrolyte Interfaces Toward Stable Zn‐Based Batteries
Small Methods, 2023AbstractAqueous rechargeable Zn‐ion batteries (ARZIBs) have attracted extensive attention because of the advantages of high energy density, high safety, and low cost. However, the commercialization of ARZIBs is still challenging, mainly because of the low efficiency of Zn anodes. Several undesirable reactions (e.g., Zn dendrite and byproduct formation)

Luminescence properties of anodically etched porous Zn
Applied Surface Science, 2000Anodization of Zn in HF/ethanol and NaOH solution yields porous structure, which luminesces in the visible region. It is observed that the luminescence properties of these samples have been found quite different. The p-Zn prepared in NaOH displays two luminescence peaks near 420 and 520 nm. On the contrary, the p-Zn prepared in HF displays luminescence

Smart Self‐Healing Anode/Electrolyte Interphases for Stabilizing Zn Anode
Advanced MaterialsAbstractThe rational design of Zn anode/electrolyte interphases (AEIs) is an effective strategy for regulating the Zn2+ stripping/plating process, as well as suppressing the interfacial side reactions. However, the formation of defects during the cycling process is still inevitable, and the exacerbation of defects would lead to the failure of the ...

Anodic Behaviour of Electrodeposited Zn-Sn Alloys
Transactions of the IMF, 1998SummaryThe paper discusses the anodic behaviour of the electrodeposited alloys Zn-15%Sn in comparison with pure Zn coatings in 0.5M Na2SO4 and 5% NaCI. A passive state in 0.5M Na2SO4 medium was registered for the alloy while in 5% NaCI the typical passive state was not observed.

Achieving high-durability aqueous Zn-ion batteries enabled by reanimating inactive Zn on Zn anodes
Journal of Colloid and Interface ScienceThe heavy by-products generated on Zn anode surface decrease the active surface of Zn anodes and thus induce uneven Zn deposition, seriously reducing the service life of aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs). Herein, we propose an elimination strategy enabled by the coordination chemistry to dissolve the main by-products (Zn4SO4(OH)6·xH2O).
