Dispersed Zn Nucleation and Growth Induced by Functional Nano-TiO2 Particles for a Stable Zn Metal Anode

Advances of Nanomaterials for High-Efficiency Zn Metal Anodes in Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries

“…Nanomaterials, owning high specific surface area and unique nanoscale dimensions, can be applied as electrolyte additives to optimize the Zn plating process and form a dense and robust SEI film, achieving highly stable ZMAs. The commonly used nanomaterial additives in AZIBs comprise nanoions, nanoinorganics, nanocarbons, nano-organics, and other nanomaterials. − Nanoscale ion additives can regulate the deposition position of Zn 2+ through ion adsorption mechanisms and electrostatic shielding effects, significantly suppressing parasitic reactions and dendrite growth. Zhang et al prepared 2D anionic tin sulfide ([Sn 2 S 5 ] 2– ) nanosheets (TS-Ns) as functional electrolyte additives for AZIBs .…”
