RESUMO
Constructing a three-dimensional (3D) structure along with Zn (002) texture selective exposure is a promising strategy to tackle the issues faced by Zn metal anodes. Herein, for the first time, we proposed an electrochemical stripping strategy to achieve controlled modification of the texture and microstructure of zinc foils in one step, building a hierarchical structure with (002) texture preferred exposed Zn (SZ). The SZ with favorable zincophilic properties not only can reduce the concentration polarization at the interface but also allow Zn to grow horizontally on the edge of the (002) texture by guiding the adsorption sites for Zn2+. Moreover, the honeycomb-like structure is beneficial to rearrange the distribution of the Zn2+ flux as well as alleviating stress changes during cycling. Thus, the SZ||Cu cell exhibits excellent stability with a Coulombic efficiency of 99.76% over 1800 cycles. The SZ||NaV3O8·xH2O cell with inconspicuous self-discharge effect maintains a high areal capacity of 3.67 mA h cm-2 even after 700 cycles with a low N/P ratio of 3.6. This work achieves texture architecture and structure designing on Zn foils simultaneously by metallurgical electrochemical methods and opens up a potential strategy to implement the practicality of zinc metal anodes.
