Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries(AZIBs)are regar-ded as promising energy storage devices due to their low cost,high capacity,and ecological safety.Nevertheless,the severe dendritic growth and side reactions hinder their practical applicability significantly.Herein,an ultrathin Cu coating layer(～200 nm)is decorated on zinc foils via filtered cathodic vacuum arc deposition technology,aiming to achieve high-performance AZIBs.The Cu layer effec-tively suppresses chemical corrosion and hydrogen evolu-tion reactions and enables preferential(002)Zn deposition during the stripping/plating cycles.Consequently,the Cu@Zn anode represents an elongated cycle life over 4,000 h at 2 mA·cm-2/2 mAh·cm-2.Even in conditions of high current density of 5 and 10 mA·cm-2,the Cu@Zn anode shows prolonged cycling stability exceeding 4000 and 2000 h,respectively.Such advantages also bring high Coulombic efficiency of 99.87％under 5 mAh·cm-2 in Cu@Ti‖Zn half-cell over 1500 cycles.Moreover,the Cu@Zn‖MnO2 full cell demonstrates a superior cyclability with a specific capacity of 203 mAh·g-1 after 500 cycles at 1 A·g-1.
