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 ...

Luminescence properties of anodically etched porous Zn

Applied Surface Science, 2000
Anodization 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
