Operando Evolution of a Hybrid Metallic Alloy Interphase for Reversible Aqueous Zinc Batteries.

ABSTRACT: Aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs) are widely acknowledged as viable future energy storage solutions, particularly for low-cost stationary applications. However, the interfacial instability of zinc anodes represents a major challenge to the commercial potential of Zn-ion systems, promoting an array of side reactions including spontaneous corrosion, hydrogen evolution, and dendrite growth that destabilize cell performance, lower Coulombic efficiency and ultimately lead to early cell failure. While other commercially relevant battery systems benefit from a spontaneously forming solid electrolyte interphase, no such layer forms in AZIBs. Herein, we have designed and engineered an operando evolved metallic alloy interphase for AZIBs. This interfacial layer is initially deposited in the form of a
