Abstract
Highlights
Alternating positively and negatively charged surface controlled by pH expedites and
homogenizes Zn2+ flux, endowing the Zn- silk fibroin (SF) anode with low polarization
voltage and stable stripping/plating.
Experimental analyses with theoretical calculations suggest that SF coating facilitates the
desolvation of [Zn(H2O)6]2+ and provides nucleation sites for uniform deposition.
Symmetric battery of Zn–SF anodes delivers high-rate performance (up to 20 mA cm−2)
and excellent stability (1500 h at 1 mA cm−2; 500 h at 10 mA cm−2) with cumulative
capacity of 2.5 Ah cm−2.
期刊介绍:
Nano-Micro Letters is a peer-reviewed, international, interdisciplinary and open-access journal that focus on science, experiments, engineering, technologies and applications of nano- or microscale structure and system in physics, chemistry, biology, material science, pharmacy and their expanding interfaces with at least one dimension ranging from a few sub-nanometers to a few hundreds of micrometers. Especially, emphasize the bottom-up approach in the length scale from nano to micro since the key for nanotechnology to reach industrial applications is to assemble, to modify, and to control nanostructure in micro scale. The aim is to provide a publishing platform crossing the boundaries, from nano to micro, and from science to technologies.
