Nature of Zinc-Derived Dendrite and Its Suppression in Mildly Acidic Aqueous Zinc-Ion Battery

Hee Jae Kim et al.

Summary: This study addresses the issue of zinc dendritic growth in aqueous zinc-ion batteries by introducing a ZP coating, which successfully suppresses the dendrite growth and elucidates the chemical state of the dendrites. The coating layer ensures uniform deposition of zinc-derived compounds and prevents dendrites through cyclic reformation. The compatibility of this method is verified through cycles in a cell with NaV3O8 || ZP-coated zinc anode. This finding presents a practical solution for uniform zinc deposition in both aqueous and nonaqueous ZIBs.
