Natural Mineral Engineering of Zinc Anode: Attapulgite-Based Interfacial Modification for Dendrite-Free Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries

Key Points

• The aim is to enhance the performance of zinc anodes by modifying their interface using attapulgite.
• Utilized attapulgite for interfacial modification of zinc anodes
• Evaluated the effects on dendrite formation
• Assessed specific capacity and polarization changes in aqueous environments.
• Dendrite formation was significantly reduced in modified zinc anodes
• Specific capacity improved compared to unmodified anodes
• Lower polarization observed in modified zinc anodes.
