Moderately Hydrophobic Polymer Protective Layer Enables Zn (100) Deposition for High Utilization Zinc Anodes

Caption

  • The moderately hydrophobic property of polymer protective layer (PDMAG) prevents the "Grotthuss" effect on Zn surface to inhibit hydrogen evolution reaction.
  • The PDMAG protective layer guides Zn2+ deposition along (100) plane for rapid stripping/plating.
  • PDMAG enables efficient Zn utilization under high DODWeight for aqueous zinc ion batteries.
