Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Energy Storage

Background:

  • Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are promising for safe energy storage but suffer from zinc dendrite growth and byproduct accumulation.
  • These issues limit their practical application and cycle life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a strategy for tuning zinc electrode crystal facets and fabricating a protective interface for enhanced AZIB performance.
  • To investigate the role of a multifunctional protective layer (MPL) in improving zinc deposition and battery stability.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing alkali corrosion to modify the crystal facets of zinc electrodes, favoring the (002) plane over the (101) plane.
  • Fabricating a protective interface layer composed of coordination polymers and inorganic zinc compounds.
  • Characterizing the MPL's properties, including zincophilicity, mechanical robustness, and corrosion resistance.

Main Results:

  • The engineered MPL effectively inhibited dendrite formation and promoted uniform zinc deposition.
  • Symmetric AZIB cells with Zn@MPL demonstrated exceptional cycling stability (>5000 h) and rate performance.
  • Full cells using Zn@MPL and MnO2 exhibited a 24-fold increase in cycling lifespan compared to bare zinc cells.

Conclusions:

  • The developed alkali corrosion strategy and MPL are effective in addressing key challenges in AZIBs.
  • This approach offers new insights for designing safe and stable aqueous zinc-ion batteries.
  • The engineered zinc electrode shows significant potential for practical energy storage applications.
