Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Energy Storage

Background:

  • Lithium-ion batteries face safety and cost limitations.
  • Aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs) offer a safer alternative but suffer from anode instability.
  • Artificial Interphase Layers (AILs) are key to stabilizing the zinc anode in AZIBs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current state-of-the-art in AIL design for AZIBs.
  • To analyze preparation methods, mechanisms, and performance of various AILs.

Main Methods:

  • Classification of AILs based on functional materials.
  • Interpretation of zinc anode instability from electrical field, mass transfer, and nucleation perspectives.
  • Review of experimental and theoretical considerations for AIL design.

Main Results:

  • AILs effectively stabilize the zinc anode by mitigating dendrite formation and improving plating/stripping efficiency.
  • Different functional materials offer unique advantages for AILs, impacting device performance.
  • Understanding the origins of zinc instability is critical for rational AIL design.

Conclusions:

  • AILs are a promising strategy to overcome the commercialization barriers of AZIBs.
  • Further research is needed to optimize AILs for long-term stability and high performance.
  • Integrated theoretical and experimental approaches will accelerate AIL development for next-generation AZIBs.
