Abstract

Abstract Nontoxic and safe aqueous Zn batteries are largely restricted by the detrimental dendrite growth and hydrogen evolution of Zn metal anode. The (002)‐textured Zn electrodeposition, demonstrated as an effective approach for solving these issues, is nevertheless achieved mainly by epitaxial or hetero‐epitaxial deposition of Zn on pre‐textured substrates. Herein, the electrodeposition of (002)‐textured and compact Zn on textureless substrates (commercial Zn, Cu, and Ti foils) at a medium‐high galvanostatic current density is reported. According to the systematic investigations on Zn nucleation and growth behaviors, this is ascribed to two reasons: i) the promoted nonepitaxial nucleation of fine horizontal…
