Peptide Gel Electrolytes for Stabilized Zn Metal Anodes

open access: yesACS Nano, 2023
The rechargeable aqueous Zn ion battery (AZIB) is considered a promising candidate for future energy storage applications due to its intrinsic safety features and low cost. However, Zn dendrites and side reactions (e.g., corrosion, hydrogen evolution reaction, and inactive side product (Zn hydroxide sulfate) formation) at the Zn metal anode have been ...

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

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 ...
