Dynamic Biomolecular “Mask” Stabilizes Zn Anode

Small, 2022
AbstractZn anode is confronted with serious Zn dendrite growth and water‐induced parasitic reactions, which severely hinders the rapid development and practical application of aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs). Herein, inspired by sodium hyaluronate (SH) biomolecules in living organisms featured with the functions of water retention, ion‐transport ...

Stable Zn Anodes with Triple Gradients

Advanced Materials, 2022
AbstractAqueous zinc‐ion batteries are highly desirable for sustainable energy storage, but the undesired Zn dendrites growth severely shortens the cycle life. Herein, a triple‐gradient electrode that simultaneously integrates gradient conductivity, zincophilicity, and porosity is facilely constructed for a dendrite‐free Zn anode. The simple mechanical

Nucleophilic Interfacial Layer Enables Stable Zn Anodes for Aqueous Zn Batteries

Nano Letters, 2022
Aqueous Zn batteries are emerging as promising energy storage devices. However, severe dendrite growth and side reactions of Zn anodes restrict their further development. Herein, we develop a nucleophilic interfacial layer (NIL) on Zn to achieve a highly stable Zn anode for rechargeable Zn batteries.

Rationalized Electroepitaxy toward Scalable Single‐Crystal Zn Anodes

Advanced Materials, 2023
AbstractElectroepitaxy is recognized as an effective approach to prepare metal electrodes with nearly complete reversibility. Nevertheless, large‐scale manipulation is still not attainable owing to complicated interfacial chemistry. Here, the feasibility of extending Zn electroepitaxy toward the bulk phase over a mass‐produced mono‐oriented Cu(111 ...

Leveling the Zn Anode by Crystallographic Orientation Manipulation

Nano Letters, 2023
Dendrite growth and corrosion of Zn metal anodes result in the limited reversibility of aqueous Zn metal batteries (ZMBs), hindering their prospects as large-scale energy storage devices. Inspired by the similarity of conventional electroplating industrial engineering and Zn deposition in ZMBs, we tend to utilize a low-cost leveling agent (LEA), 1,4 ...

Regulating the Interfacial Charge Density by Constructing a Novel Zn Anode‐Electrolyte Interface for Highly Reversible Zn Anode

Chemistry – A European Journal, 2023
AbstractAqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) have attracted considerable attention. However, due to the uneven distribution of charge density at Zn anode‐electrolyte interface, severe dendrites and corrosion are generated during cycling. In this work, a facile and scalable strategy to address the above‐mentioned issues has been proposed through ...
