Facilitated Zn2+ Transport and Preferential Zn (100) Deposition Enabled by Amorphous ZrOx-C Hybrid Thin Film for High-Performance Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries.
Although aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are emerging as promising candidates for large-scale energy storage due to their intrinsic safety and cost-effectiveness, the practical deployment of metallic zinc (Zn) anodes is still plagued by uncontrolled dendrite growth, corrosion, and competing hydrogen evolution reacti...
