Abstract

Aqueous batteries, renowned for their cost-effectiveness and non-flammability, have attracted considerable attention in the realm of batteries featuring Zn-based and Sn-based configurations. These configurations employ Zn and Sn metal anodes, respectively. While the growth patterns of Zn under various current densities have been extensively studied, there has been a scarcity of research on Sn dendrite growth. Our operando imaging analysis reveals that, unlike Zn, Sn forms sharp dendrites at high current density emphasizing the crucial necessity for implementing strategies to suppress the dendrites formation. To address this issue, we introduced a carbon nanotube (CNT) layer on copper foil, effectively preventing the formation of Sn dendrites under high current density, thus enabling the high-current operation of Sn metal batteries. We believe that our work highlights the importance of suppressing dendrite formation in aqueous Sn metal batteries operating at high current density and introduces a fresh perspective on mitigating Sn dendrite formation.

金属阳极形态动力学:不同电流密度下锌和锡金属水电池的观察
水溶液电池以其成本效益和不可燃性而闻名,在锌基和锡基电池领域引起了相当大的关注。这些结构分别采用Zn和Sn金属阳极。虽然锌在不同电流密度下的生长模式已经被广泛研究,但对锡枝晶生长的研究却很少。我们的operando成像分析显示,与Zn不同,Sn在高电流密度下形成尖锐的枝晶,这强调了实施抑制枝晶形成策略的关键必要性。为了解决这一问题,我们在铜箔上引入了碳纳米管(CNT)层,有效地防止了高电流密度下锡枝晶的形成,从而实现了锡金属电池的大电流工作。我们认为,我们的工作强调了在高电流密度下抑制水相锡金属电池枝晶形成的重要性,并为减轻锡枝晶形成提供了新的视角。
