A Self‐Regulated Electrostatic Shielding Layer toward Dendrite‐Free Zn Batteries
Beijing Institute of Technology · University of Science and Technology Beijing
Abstract
Abstract Although aqueous Zn batteries have become a more sustainable alternative to lithium‐ion batteries owing to their intrinsic security, their practical applications are limited by dendrite formation and hydrogen reactions. The first application of a rare earth metal type addition to Zn batteries, cerium chloride (CeCl 3 ), as an effective, low‐cost, and green electrolyte additive that facilitates the formation of a dynamic electrostatic shielding layer around the Zn protuberance to induce uniform Zn deposition is presented. After introducing CeCl 3 additives, the electrochemical characterizations, in situ optical microscopy observation, in situ differential electrochemical mass spectrometry, along with…
