Design Strategies toward High‐Performance Zn Metal Anode

Rechargeable aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs) are one of the most promising alternatives for traditional energy-storage devices because of their low cost, abundant resources, environmental friendliness, and inherent safety. However, several detrimental issues with Zn metal anodes including Zn dendrite formation, hydrogen evolution, corrosion and passivation, should be considered when designing advanced AZIBs. Moreover, these thorny issues are not independent but mutually reinforcing, covering many technical and processing parameters. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively summarize the issues facing Zn anodes and the corresponding strategies to develop roadmaps for the development of high-performance Zn…
