The aim is to enhance the performance of zinc metal anodes by developing a calcium-rich protective layer.
Construction of the protective layer on zinc metal anodes
Evaluation of the layer's effects on performance metrics
Comparison with standard zinc anodes under similar conditions
The calcium-rich layer significantly improves the electrochemical performance of zinc anodes.
Enhanced durability and capacity retention observed over repeated cycles.
Reduced issues related to corrosion and dendrite formation.
Abstract
Zinc metal anodes (ZMA) are notable among aqueous ion battery anodes for their low cost, high specific capacity and low redox potential. However, zinc anodes still encounter many challenges such...
