Abstract
One of the main reasons that limit the application of aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) is the growth of zinc dendrites. In this paper, three different sizes of UiO-67 were synthesized, named B-10, B-15 and B-20, by hydrothermal method and their different performances in ZIBs were compared. Among them, B-10 has the smallest size, larger porosity, as well as a high content of Zr–OH/H2O groups which are excellent zincophilic sites. It is also noteworthy that zinc symmetric batteries composed of zinc foils coated with B-10 have excellent zinc plating/stripping performance at different current densities, with minimal overpotential and up to 700 h of cycling stability at a current density of 0.5 mA·cm−2. B-10 also has the lowest resistance and highest ionic conductivity compared to B-15 and B-20, and has the best ability to inhibit zinc dendrite growth.
