华东师范大学潘丽坤&扬州大学李家宝&暨南大学黎晋良最新AFM丨动态静态双屏蔽稳定锌负极！
Merged summary
TL;DR - Researchers developed a dual-additive electrolyte that combines dynamic 2-methylimidazole adsorption with Na⁺ electrostatic shielding to stabilize aqueous zinc-metal anodes. The approach suppresses parasitic reactions and dendrites while improving ion transport and cycling durability.
- 2-methylimidazole forms a hydrophobic barrier on Zn (002), reducing hydrogen evolution, corrosion, and byproduct formation.
- Na⁺ homogenizes Zn²⁺ flux and lowers concentration polarization, promoting smooth, oriented zinc deposition.
- Zn||Zn cells cycled for over 650 hours at 5 mA cm⁻²/5 mAh cm⁻²; Zn||Cu cells averaged 99.29% Coulombic efficiency.
- Zn||I₂ cells retained over 90% capacity after 2,400 cycles at 5 A g⁻¹.
