This research aims to enhance the rate performance and stability of zinc anodes in zinc-ion batteries.
Developed an ion-directed polymer/inorganic interphase.
Evaluated the effects of this interphase on the reversibility of zinc anodes.
Assessed concentration gradients and ion aggregation at the interface.
The ion-directed interphase significantly improved charge stability.
Reversibility of the Zn anode was enhanced, addressing common performance issues.
Reduction in zinc ion aggregation at the interface was observed.
Abstract
The rate performance of the Zn anode is a crucial factor for the practical zinc-ion batteries, while concentration gradient and aggregation of zinc ions at the interface hinder its reversibility....
