3D Artificial Array Interface Engineering Enabling Dendrite-Free Stable Zn Metal Anode.

ABSTRACT: The ripple effect induced by uncontrollable Zn deposition is considered as the Achilles heel for developing high-performance aqueous Zn-ion batteries. For this problem, this work reports a design concept of 3D artificial array interface engineering to achieve volume stress elimination, preferred orientation growth and dendrite-free stable Zn metal anode. The mechanism of MXene array interface on modulating the growth kinetics and deposition behavior of Zn atoms were firstly disclosed on the multi-scale level, including the in-situ optical microscopy and transient simulation at the mesoscopic scale, in-situ Raman spectroscopy and in-situ X-ray diffraction at the microscopic scale, as well as density functional theory calculation at the atomic scale. As indicated by the electrochemical perfo
