Abstract
Zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) are an intriguing option due to their safety, nonflammability, and environmental friendliness. However, the uncontrolled formation of Zn dendrites, which can lead to short circuits, limits their broader application. In this study, we designed an artificial interface layer on the surface of the Zn metal anode using a hydrothermal reaction in a fly ash suspension. This process created a zinc silicate (ZnSiO3) thin film on the Zn surface, which helps control Zn ion accumulation and facilitates their diffusion, thereby enhancing the performance of the Zn anode. As a result, the symmetric cells achieved an impressive long-term lifespan of 1900 h at a current density of 0.5 mA·cm–2,…
