Using MXene materials as an artificial layer can induce uniform zinc deposition, leading to an extended lifespan of the zinc anode. Among different terminations, Cl termination is found to be more effective in regulating zinc ion diffusion.
Dendrite growth and low Coulombic efficiency caused by uneven diffusion and electrodeposition of Zn2+ ions have emerged as a barrier to exploit the Zn metal anode. In this work, we demonstrate the stoichiometric halogenated MXenes (Ti3C2Cl2, Ti3C2Br2, and Ti3C2I2) as an artificial layer that can induce the uniform Zn deposition. The efficient redistribution effect results from the coherent heterogeneous interface reconstruction and regulated ion tiling by halogen surficial termination. The synergetic effects of high lattice matching (90%) between the adopted MXenes and Zn, as well as the positive halogen regulation, Zn2+ ions are guided to nucleate uniformly on the most extensive (000l) crystal plane of the MXene matrix and grow in a planar manner. In terms of Zn ion regulation, Cl termination is found to be more effective than O/F, Br, and I due to its moderate adsorption and diffusion coefficiency for Zn2+ ions. The Ti3C2Cl2-Zn anode achieves a life extension of over 12 times (840 h at 2 mA cm(-2)//1 mAh cm(-2)) over that of the bare Zn anode and serves more than 9000 cycles in a battery with a Ti3C2I2 cathode at a high rate of 3 A g(-1). Given the abundance of lattice parameters and terminations of MXene materials, the developed strategy is expected to be extended to other metal anode systems.
