Alloying-mediated stability enhancement of zinc anodes for high-performance zinc-ion batteries

adsorption, inducing the preferential deposition of Zn along the (002) crystal plane, and constructing buffer layers to reduce the electrode reaction activity. Moreover, the formation positions and functional modes of the alloy phases are elaborated. The perspective further points out the current challenges in research and prospects the development directions, aiming to provide theoretical support and technical reference for the design of high-stability zinc anodes and achieve overall performance improvement in AZIBs.
