Zn Dissolution-Passivation Behavior with ZnO Formation via In Situ Characterizations

In this study,ZnO formation during the dissolution-passivation process of Zn anodes is observed via in situ Raman and optical characterization.The Zn passivation during galvanostatic anodization merely follows the dissolution-precipitation model,whereas that of potentiodynamic polarization exhibits different behaviors in different potential ranges.Initially,the Zn electrode is gradually covered by a ZnO precipitation film and then undergoes solid-state oxidation at~255 mV.The starting point of solid-state oxidation is well indicated by the abrupt current drop and yellow coloration of the electrode surface.During the pseudo passivation,an intense current oscillation is observed.Further,blink-like color changes between yellow and dark blue are revealed for the first time,implying that the oscillation is caused by the dynamic adsorption and desorption of OH groups.The as-formed ZnOs then experience a dissolution-reformation evolution,during which the crystallinity of the primary ZnO film is improved but the solid-state-formed ZnO layer becomes rich in oxygen vacancies.Eventually,oxide densification is realized,contributing to the Zn passivation.This study provides new insights into the Zn dissolution-passivation behavior,which is critical for the future optimization of Zn batteries.
