An in situ reduction strategy toward dendrite-free Zn anodes

Mengqi Zhou et al.

Summary: A dendrite-free 3D Zn metal composite anode was designed by plating Zn on a Cu2+-coordinated carbon cloth current collector. The Cu-Zn alloy interface acts as a zincophilic deposition site for Zn ions and enhances the conductivity to homogenize the electric field and Zn2+ flux. This strategy advances the development of dendrite-free and durable Zn metal batteries.

Nanofluid Electrolyte with Fumed Al2O3 Additive Strengthening Zincophilic and Stable Surface of Zinc Anode toward Flexible Zinc-Nickel Batteries

Jingyi Luan et al.

Summary: By introducing a nanofluid electrolyte with aluminum oxide additive, a protective layer is formed on the electrodeposited zinc anode, which enhances its zincophilicity and homogenizes the deposition of zinc hydroxide to prevent dendrite formation and electrode shape change. Additionally, the diffusion of zinc hydroxide from the anode surface to the bulk electrolyte is suppressed, promoting interface stabilization, improving zinc utilization rate, and inhibiting corrosion. As a result, the flexible zinc-nickel batteries assembled with aluminum oxide-nanofluid electrolyte and electrodeposited zinc anode exhibit superior energy density of 210 Wh L-1 and stable cycling for 575 hours, showing promising potential in the field of wearable and portable electronics.

Boosting ultra-long cycling and shelf life of nickel-zinc battery via guiding oriented zinc deposition and suppressing [Zn(OH)4]2-diffusion

Hongyan Yuan et al.

Summary: To address the issues of self-corrosion and uneven deposition of zinc anode in alkaline nickel-zinc batteries, polyethylene glycol (PEG-300) was introduced as an electrolyte additive. PEG-300 can selectively adsorb on the zinc anode to form a protective layer, inhibiting the tip effect and limiting the lateral diffusion of [Zn(OH)4]2-. Moreover, the long-chain molecules of PEG suppress the diffusion of [Zn(OH)4]2- from the surface of zinc anode to the bulk electrolyte, thereby inhibiting self-corrosion. Experimental results demonstrate that the assembled Ni-Zn battery with 2% PEG additive exhibits an ultra-long cycling life and excellent performance.

Enhanced sequestration of heavy metals from aqueous solution on polyacrylamide grafted with cell@Fe3O4 nanocomposite

Rais Ahmad et al.

Summary: In this study, a poly(acrylamide)-grafted cell@Fe3O4 (PAC@Fe3O4) nanocomposite was synthesized, and its adsorption performance for Pb(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) in wastewater was investigated. The research found that the adsorption efficiency was pH-dependent, with the highest removal occurring at high pH levels and at pH 5 for all three metal ions. The maximum adsorption capacities were determined to be 313.02 mg g(-1) for Pb(II), 219.33 mg g(-1) for Ni(II), and 210.71 mg g(-1) for Cu(II). Kinetic analysis revealed that the adsorption of metal ions followed second-order kinetics, with chemical adsorption as the rate-limiting step. The adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous.
