High-Rate Laminar Zn Plating in Aqueous Zinc Batteries: From S-PANI Grafted Bacterial Cellulose to Stable Metal Anode

Key Points

• This research focuses on enhancing the stability and efficiency of zinc electrodeposition in rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries.
• Utilized a self-assembled bacterial cellulose (BC) scaffold for Zn2+ regulation during plating.
• Evaluated the electrochemical performance of zinc plating in conjunction with the BC scaffold.
• Performed tests to compare the stability of the metal anode in various conditions.
• Demonstrated improved electrodeposition rates in aqueous environments.
• Reported stable zinc anode formation with enhanced durability under operational conditions.
