This study presents an ion sieve coating that effectively inhibits dendrite growth on metallic zinc anodes, improving the rechargeability of aqueous zinc metal batteries. Experimental and theoretical analyses demonstrate that the coating facilitates the desolvation of zinc clusters, weakens hydrogen evolution reaction, and homogenizes ion flux, resulting in dendrite-free zinc deposition. The symmetric cell with the ion sieve coating shows a lifespan of up to 3000 hours, highlighting the enhanced performance of zinc metal batteries.
Tip-induced dendrites on metallic zinc anodes (MZAs) fundamentally deteriorate the rechargeability of aqueous Zn metal batteries (ZMBs). Herein, an intriguing ion sieve (IS) consisting of 3D intertwined bacterial cellulose, deposited on the surface of MZAs (Zn@IS) through an in situ self-assembly route, is first presented to be effective in inhibiting dendrite-growth on MZAs. Experimental analyses together with theoretical calculations suggested that the IS coating can facilitate the desolvation of [Zn(H2O)(6)](2+) clusters via a strong interplay with Zn ions, weaken hydrogen evolution reaction of MZAs, and homogenize the ion flux with the abundant nanopores serving as ion tunnels, synergistically enabling dendrite-free Zn deposition on the Zn@IS anodes. Consequently, a lifespan up to 3000 h at a cutoff capacity of 0.25 mA h cm(-2) was observed in a Zn@IS.Zn@IS symmetric cell. In terms of application, pairing with a carbon-nanotube@MnO2 cathode as an example, the full ZMBs acquired enhanced rechargeability with much higher capacity retention over 73.3% after 3000 cycles compared to the counterpart with pristine MZA (21%).
