Carrageenan-induced Highly Stable Zn Anode by Regulating Interface Chemistry

Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are promising on account of the inherent safety, minimal toxicity, cost-effectiveness, and high theoretical capacity. However, the critical issues including the Zn dendrites and side reactions impede their commercial application. Here, we propose green, non-toxic and biological carrageenan (Carr) serving as an electrolyte additive to address the aforementioned issues. Owing to the multifunctional groups, Carr has the capacity to interact with Zn
