Cationic Adsorption‑Induced Microlevelling Effect: A Pathway to Dendrite‑Free Zinc Anodes

Caption

  • A microlevelling agent containing Gd3+ ions significantly enhances the reversibility and stability of zinc anodes.
  • Gd3+ ions are preferentially adsorbed onto zinc surface, shielding zinc deposition at protrusions.
  • Adsorbed Gd3+ ions establish a water-poor electric double layer, suppressing side reactions at the interface.
