Electrodeposition

Electrodeposition

Electrodeposition is a technique used to separate an analyte from interferents by electrochemical processes. Here, the analyte is a metal ion that can be deposited on an electrode immersed in the sample solution. The electrochemical setup consists of an anode and a cathode. When an electric current is applied to the setup, oxidation occurs at the anode. At the cathode, which consists of a large metal surface, metal ions undergo reduction and deposit onto the surface.
Electrodeposition can...

Energy Storage

Background:

High-energy metal anodes are crucial for advanced batteries but face challenges with electrode-electrolyte interphase stability.
Current limitations hinder the development of safe, high-performance, and cost-effective aqueous batteries.

Purpose of the Study:

To engineer a robust interphase on copper metal electrodes (CMEs) for high-performance aqueous batteries.
To achieve ultrahigh-speed copper plating/stripping and long cycle life.

Main Methods:

In situ formation of a phosphate-rich interphase on CMEs using potassium dihydrogen phosphate in a CuSO4-H2O electrolyte.
Electrochemical testing of symmetric cells and full batteries with sulfur and zinc cathodes/anodes.

Main Results:

Achieved ultrahigh-speed copper plating/stripping at 100 mA cm⁻² for over 12,000 cycles.
Demonstrated significant improvements in cycling stability (2800 h for symmetric cells, 1000 cycles for S||Cu full batteries).
Identified hydrophilic phosphate-rich interphase nanostructures that homogenize copper-ion deposition and suppress nucleation overpotential, enabling dendrite-free electrodes.

Conclusions:

The developed interphase engineering strategy enables dendrite-free, high-power copper metal anodes in aqueous electrolytes.
This approach significantly enhances battery performance, stability, and safety, paving the way for practical metal anode applications.
