Stable zinc metal anodes achieved by dynamic counteracting tip effect and interfacial ion redistribution

Aqueous zinc metal batteries(AZMBs)are hindered by uncontrolled dendrites and side reactions during commercialization,despite their advantages of safety and high capacity density.Herein,we propose the electrical feedback strategy to restrain the Zn dendrites resulting from the"tip effect"and optimize inter-facial Zn2+distribution to accelerate electrodeposition kinetics by using the lithium niobate(LNO)layer.Specifically,at the bumps of the zinc anode,the ferroelectric LNO is polarized by the locally strong elec-tric field,which in turn counteracts the"tip effect".In this way,the dynamic polarization of LNO can repair the uneven tip electric field to achieve uniform and flat zinc deposition.In addition,owing to the interaction between Nb and Zn2+,a higher concentration of Zn2+near the zincophilic LNO@Zn surface is obtained for the rapid electrochemical reaction kinetics of plating.Considering the aforementioned advantages,the LNO@Zn anode harvests stable cycling over 1200 h at 10 mA cm-2 with a superior cumu-lative capacity of 5800 mAh cm-2.Assembled with the α-MnO2 cathode,the full cell using LNO@Zn anode exhibits the slower capacity decay(0.054%per cycle)during 1000 cycles.This strategy provides a per-spective for stabilizing zinc metal anodes through dynamic electrical response and interfacial ion redis-tribution effect.
