Abstract

Metallic zinc has emerged as a promising anode material for high-energy battery systems due to its high theoretical capacity (820 mAh g−1), low redox potential for two-electron reactions, cost-effectiveness and inherent safety. However, current zinc metal batteries face challenges in low coulombic e...
