“…The contact angle of the PP membrane remained almost unchanged after 5 s due to its poor surface polarity, despite its fair porosity of 50%. Meanwhile, the GF membrane with high porosity (83%) and large pore size (0.7–2.0 μm) allowed the electrolyte to quickly infiltrate through within 5 s. 46 It is worth noting that the CF-0.6Z membrane, with rich polar functional groups and ZIF-67 porous-structure particles on its surfaces, exhibited excellent electrolyte affinity.…”

Rechargeable aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) are considered to be one of the most promising devices in the next generation of energy storage systems. However, the uncontrolled growth of Zn dendrites during electroplating leads to rapid battery failure, which hinders the wide application of AZIBs. In this work, an Fe metal interface (FMI) with electric field regulation is designed on the Zn metal anode using a magnetron sputtering technology. The FMI layer with nanosheet array not only uniforms the surface electric field, but also adjusts the surface Zn2+ ion distribution to inhibit 2D diffusion. The strong orientation relationships of the FMI layer enhance the reversibility of Zn plating/stripping, improving the structural stability of the interface layer. Consequently, FMI@Zn symmetric cell exhibits ultra‐stable lifespan for over 6000 h (Cumulative plated capacity, CPC = 15 Ah cm−2) with a low voltage hysteresis of 46.4 mV and high Coulombic efficiency of 99.8% at 5 mA cm−2. Even at the large current density of 40 mA cm−2, the CPC reaches 19.7 Ah cm−2. The proposed electric field regulation strategy reveals a promising prospect for designing highly stable Zn anode, which also applies to other metal anodes in energy storage systems.

Recent years have witnessed a surge in research on aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) due to their low cost, stability, and exceptional electrochemical performance, among other advantages. However, practical manufacturing and deployment of AZIBs have been hindered by challenges such as low energy density, significant precipitation‐related side reactions, slow ion migration, and dendritic growth. Addressing these issues and enhancing the practical application of AZIBs necessitates the development of novel materials. Carbon dots (CDs), with their distinctive structure and superior electrochemical properties, represent an innovative class of carbon‐based materials with broad potential applications for optimizing AZIBs' performance. This study offers a comprehensive review of how CDs can address the aforementioned challenges of AZIBs. It begins with an overview of AZIBs composition and mechanism before delving into the classification, preparation techniques, and functionalization strategies of CDs. The review also thoroughly summarizes the sophisticated roles of CDs as modifiers in electrolytes and electrodes, both positive and negative, and briefly discusses their potential application in membranes. Additionally, it provides a summary of current issues and difficulties encountered in utilizing CDs in AZIBs. This review aims to provide insights and guidance for designing and manufacturing the next generation of high‐performance AZIBs.
