Stabling Zinc Metal Anode with Polydopamine Regulation through Dual Effects of Fast Desolvation and Ion Confinement (Adv. Energy Mater. 5/2023)

Zinc Anodes In article number 2203523, Zhangxing He, Shude Liu, Jiang Zhou and co-workers construct a polydopamine (PDA) layer that shows the dual effects of fast desolvation and ion confinement on the surface of a Zn anode to regulate the deposition of Zn2+, resulting in fast Zn2+ transport capability and uniformly deposited Zn layers. The cells assembled with the Zn@PDA exhibit highly reversible plating/stripping behavior and excellent long-term stability.
