A self-assembled nanoporous polyelectrolytic interlayer for highly stable zinc metal anodes

Inducing preferential growth of the Zn (002) plane by using a multifunctional chelator for achieving highly reversible Zn anodes

“…This indicated that SG molecules were chemically stable and remained effective during charge/discharge. 34,35 Fig. 5b depicts the rate performance of the full cells at current densities ranging from 0.1 to 5 A g −1 .…”

Advances of Nanomaterials for High-Efficiency Zn Metal Anodes in Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries

“…Nano-organic materials have been widely applied as nanomodified coatings for ZMAs due to their rich polar functional groups, outstanding mechanical flexibility, and strong adhesion properties. ,− The nano-organic protective layer not only accommodates volume fluctuations during cycling, boosting the durability of Zn anodes, but also offers electrostatic shielding, eliminating the tip effect and reducing the nucleation energy barrier of Zn. For example, a β-PVDF nanofilm (∼200 nm) was directly covered onto Zn foil through the spin coating method to construct a β-PVDF@Zn anode (Figure a) .…”

Assembly of Metal–Organic Chemical Conversion Layers as Ion Sieves along with Exposing Zn(002) Planes for Stable Zn Metal Anode

“…[23][24][25] The complexation effect between organic species with rich functional groups and zinc ions is used to construct a metal complex film with 3D structure on the surface of metal substrate to provide open channels and zinophilic sites, thereby enabling fast and uniform ion flux. [26,27] Organic phosphonic acid has the advantages of stable structure, low toxicity, and low irritation. The abundant P, O atoms in their molecular structure can make it easy for them to complex on the metal surface to in situ form chemical conversion film.…”
