AgxZny Protective Coatings with Selective Zn2+/H+ Binding Enable Reversible Zn Anodes

, 2023
Zinc (Zn) metal anodes suffer from the dendrite growth and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in classical aqueous electrolytes, which severely limit their lifespan. We propose a rational design of AgxZny protective coatings with selective binding to Zn2+

A Dual‐Functional Electrolyte Additive for Highly Reversible Zinc‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) as a dual‐function additive for aqueous zinc‐ion batteries. TBAB disrupts the hydrogen‐bond network of water while TBA+ adsorbs on Zn to improve interfacial wettability and regulate Zn2+ flux, resulting in suppressed dendrite growth and parasitic reactions. This synergy extended the lifespan of Zn|
