Atomically Dispersed Zincophilic Sites in N,P-Codoped Carbon Macroporous Fibers Enable Efficient Zn Metal Anodes

Yinxiang Zeng et al.

Summary: In this study, an elaborate design of atomically dispersed Cu and Zn sites anchored on N, P-codoped carbon macroporous fibers (Cu/Zn-N/P-CMFs) was demonstrated as a three-dimensional host for efficient zinc metal anodes (ZMAs) in mildly acidic electrolyte. The 3D macroporous frameworks can alleviate structural stress and suppress zinc dendrite growth by spatially homogenizing zinc ion flux. The well-dispersed Cu and Zn atoms anchored by N and P atoms maximize utilization as active nucleation sites for zinc plating, resulting in a low zinc nucleation overpotential, high reversibility, and dendrite-free zinc deposition.
