Abstract

Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs) are considered promising alternatives to conventional Li-ion secondary batteries due to their high safety, environmental friendliness, and cost-effectiveness. Despite these advantages, uneven metal plating and stripping, dendrite formation, and passivation and corrosion owing to the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) have hindered the practical implementation of ZIBs. A promising route for overcoming these problems involves coating the Zn anode with eutectic gallium indium (EGaIn)-based liquid metal (LM) with a strong Zn affinity and growth direction tenability. Despite considerable research on EGaIn-coated Zn anodes for ZIBs, this topic has not been comprehensively reviewed. Hence, this Review introduces the application of LMs to ZIBs and particularly discusses the mitigation of stability issues using LM and the fundamental processes related to Zn anodes. We summarize the progress in this field and suggest promising future research directions to advance ZIBs.

在锌阳极上使用镓基液态金属涂层的锌离子电池的研究趋势和未来展望

锌离子电池（ZIBs）因其高度安全性、环保性和成本效益而被认为是传统锂离子二次电池的理想替代品。尽管具有这些优点，但金属电镀和剥离不均匀、枝晶形成以及氢进化反应（HER）导致的钝化和腐蚀等问题阻碍了 ZIB 的实际应用。克服这些问题的一条可行途径是在锌阳极上镀上共晶镓铟 (EGaIn) 基液态金属 (LM)，这种液态金属具有很强的锌亲和性和生长方向稳定性。尽管有关 EGaIn 涂层 Zn 阳极用于 ZIB 的研究相当多，但尚未对这一主题进行全面综述。因此，本综述介绍了将 LM 应用于 ZIB 的情况，特别讨论了使用 LM 缓解稳定性问题以及与锌阳极相关的基本过程。我们总结了这一领域的进展，并提出了未来有望推动 ZIBs 发展的研究方向。

期刊介绍： ACS Energy Letters is a monthly journal that publishes papers reporting new scientific advances in energy research. The journal focuses on topics that are of interest to scientists working in the fundamental and applied sciences. Rapid publication is a central criterion for acceptance, and the journal is known for its quick publication times, with an average of 4-6 weeks from submission to web publication in As Soon As Publishable format. ACS Energy Letters is ranked as the number one journal in the Web of Science Electrochemistry category. It also ranks within the top 10 journals for Physical Chemistry, Energy & Fuels, and Nanoscience & Nanotechnology. The journal offers several types of articles, including Letters, Energy Express, Perspectives, Reviews, Editorials, Viewpoints and Energy Focus. Additionally, authors have the option to submit videos that summarize or support the information presented in a Perspective or Review article, which can be highlighted on the journal's website. ACS Energy Letters is abstracted and indexed in Chemical Abstracts Service/SciFinder, EBSCO-summon, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Portico.
