Aligned Dipoles Induced Electric-Field Promoting Zinc-Ion De-Solvation toward Highly Stable Dendrite-Free Zinc-Metal Batteries

© 2023 Wiley-VCH GmbH..

Water-induced parasitic reactions and uncontrolled dendritic Zn growth are long-lasting tricky problems that severely hinder the development of aqueous zinc-metal batteries. Those notorious issues are closely related to electrolyte configuration and zinc-ion transport behavior. Herein, through constructing aligned dipoles induced electric-field on Zn surface, both the solvation structure and transport behavior of zinc-ions are fundamentally changed. The vertically ordered zinc-ion migration trajectory and gradually concentrated zinc-ion achieved inside the polarized electric-field remarkably eliminate water related side-reactions and Zn dendrites. Zn-metal under the polarized electric-field demonstrated significantly improve reversibility and a dendrite-free surface with strong (002) Zn deposition texturing. Zn||Zn symmetric cell delivers greatly prolonged lifespan up to 1400 h (17 times longer than that of the cell based on bare Zn) while the Zn||Cu half-cell demonstrate ultrahigh 99.9% coulombic efficiency. NH4 V4 O10 ||Zn half-cell delivered exceptional-high 132 mAh g-1 capacity after ultralong 2000 cycles (≈100% capacity retention). In addition, MnO2 ||Zn pouch-cell under aligned dipoles induced electric-field maintains 87.9% capacity retention after 150 cycles under practical condition of high MnO2 mass loading (≈10 mg cm-2 ) and limited N/P ratio. It is considered that this new strategy can also be implemented to other metallic batteries and spur the development of batteries with long-lifespan and high-energy-density.
