Science Daily  February 21, 2024 The sluggish ions-transfer and inhomogeneous ions-nucleation induce the formation of randomly oriented dendrites on Zn anode, while the chemical instability at anode–electrolyte interface triggers detrimental side reactions. A team of international researchers (Australia, China) designed a multifunctional hybrid interphase of Bi/Bi2O3 a novel synergistic regulation mechanism involving chemically inert interface protection mechanism suppressing side reactions, and thermodynamically favorable Zn atomic clusters dissociation mechanism impeding dendrites formation. Assisted by collaborative modulation behavior, the Zn@Bi/Bi2O3 symmetry cell delivered an ultrahigh cumulative plating capacity and ultralong lifetimes of 300 h even at high current density and depth of […]
