ABSTRACT
Zinc metal is an ideal candidate for aqueous rechargeable batteries due to its high theoretical capacity and natural abundance. However, its commercialization is inevitably challenged by several critical factors such as dendrite growth and parasitic side-reactions, leading to low coulombic efficiency and a limited lifespan. Herein, a modified Zn foil with a zincophilic ZnSe layer deposited by a simple selenization process is proposed. An order of magnitude stronger adsorption capability toward Zn2+ ions and uniform ion diffusion tunnels of ZnSe enables lower nucleation energy barrier and faster ion-diffusion kinetics. Meanwhile, detrimental Zn corrosion in aqueous system is also effectively mitigated. As a result, ZnSe@Zn anode shows reversible Zn plating/stripping (1700 h at 1 mA cm-2 ) with ultra-low voltage hysteresis (41 mV), contributing to exceptional cycling stability over 500 cycles with negligible capacity fading for the ZnSe@Zn/MnO2 full cell.
