Nuclei-rich galvanizing strategy for suppressing zinc dendrite growth

The uncontrolled growth of zinc dendrites on zinc anode hinders the application of zinc ion batteries.To solve this problem,Lu's group proposed a nuclei-rich galvanizing strategy for suppressing the zinc dendrite growth.This allows the nuclei-rich zinc electrode to cycle steadily for1200 h and have a high Coulombic efficiency of 99.7%at15 mA·cm^(-2)with a deposited amount of 10 mAh·cm^(-2).Moreover,the Zn-MnO_(2) battery with a low N/P ratio of 1.9exhibited sustained cycling life.
