Abstract:Aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) are one of the most promising systems for large‐scale energy storage, but their zinc metal anodes suffer from unsatisfactory stability and reversibility due to the uncontrollable Zn dendrite growth and undesirable side reactions. Herein, a ZnO‐anchored nitrogen‐doped carbon/Ti3C2Tx MXene composite (ZnO@NC/MXene) is developed as a protective layer onto the zinc anode, which establishes a zincophilic and hydrophobic interface. In the ZnO@NC/MXene layer, the nitrogen sites effic… Show more
