Abstract
Dendrite formation and ongoing side reactions on the zinc anode are critical issues that hinder the application of zinc-ion batteries. Herein, a fluorine-containing carbon coating is applied to the zinc anode surface via laser irradiation. This coating enhanced the regulation of Zn2+ diffusion and nucleation behavior on the anode surface, promoting stable (002)-textured Zn deposition and reduction in side reactions. The strongly coupled coating enabled highly stable and reversible zinc stripping/plating for over 721 hours in Zn/Zn symmetric batteries at 5 mA cm−2 and 2.5 mA h cm−2. Moreover, the assembled full battery retained 80% of its initial capacity after 5500 cycles at a current density of 1 A g−1. Thus, it was demonstrated that surface modification with fluorine-containing carbon can improve the stability and reversibility of Zn anodes, thus accelerating the commercialization of ZIBs.
锌阳极枝晶的形成和持续的副反应是阻碍锌离子电池应用的关键问题。本文通过激光照射在锌阳极表面涂上含氟碳涂层。该涂层增强了Zn2+在阳极表面扩散和成核行为的调控,促进了稳定的(002)织构Zn沉积和副反应的减少。强耦合涂层在5 mA cm - 2和2.5 mA h cm - 2的Zn/Zn对称电池中实现了高度稳定和可逆的锌剥离/电镀超过721小时。此外,在电流密度为1 a g−1的情况下,经过5500次循环后,组装的完整电池保留了80%的初始容量。由此可见,用含氟碳对锌阳极进行表面改性可以提高锌阳极的稳定性和可逆性,从而加速锌阳极的商业化。
