Abstract
Chalcogens, especially tellurium (Te), as conversion-type cathodes possess promising prospects for zinc batteries (ZBs) with potential rich valence supply and high energy density. However, the conversion reaction of Te is normally restricted to the Te2-/Te0 redox with a low voltage plateau at ∼0.59 V (vs Zn2+/Zn) rather than the expected positive valence conversion of Te0 to Ten+, inhibiting the development of Te-based batteries toward high output voltage and energy density. Herein, the desired reversible Te2-/Te0/Te2+/Te4+ redox behavior with up to six-electron transfer was successfully activated by employing a highly concentrated Cl--containing electrolyte (Cl- as strong nucleophile) for the first time. Three flat discharge plateaus located at 1.24, 0.77, and 0.51 V, respectively, are attained with a total capacity of 802.7 mAh g-1. Furthermore, to improve the stability of Ten+ products and enhance the cycling stability, a modified ionic liquid (IL)-based electrolyte was fabricated, leading to a high-performance Zn∥Te battery with high areal capacity (7.13 mAh cm-2), high energy density (542 Wh kgTe-1 or 227 Wh Lcathdoe+anode-1), excellent cycling performance, and a low self-discharge rate based on 400 mAh-level pouch cell. The results enhance the understanding of tellurium chemistry in batteries, substantially promising a remarkable route for advanced ZBs.

Abstract
The battery chemistry aiming for high energy density calls for the redox couples that embrace multi-electron transfer with high redox potential. Here we report a twelve-electron transfer iodine electrode based on the conversion between iodide and iodate in aqueous electrolyte, which is six times than that of the conventional iodide/iodine redox couple. This is enabled by interhalogen chemistry between iodine (in the electrode) and bromide (in the acidic electrolyte), which provides an electrochemical-chemical loop (the bromide-iodate loop) that accelerates the kinetics and reversibility of the iodide/iodate electrode reaction. In the deliberately designed aqueous electrolyte, the twelve-electron iodine electrode delivers a high specific capacity of 1200 mAh g-1 with good reversibility, corresponding to a high energy density of 1357 Wh kg-1. The proposed iodine electrode is substantially promising for the design of future high energy density aqueous batteries, as validated by the zinc-iodine full battery and the acid-alkaline decoupling battery.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-iodine (Zn-I2) batteries have attracted extensive attention due to their merits of inherent safety, wide natural abundance, and low cost. However, their application is seriously hindered by the irreversible capacity loss resulting from both anode and cathode. Herein, an anion concentrated electrolyte (ACE) membrane is designed to manipulate the Zn2+ ion flux on the zinc anode side and restrain the shuttle effect of polyiodide ions on the I2 cathode side simultaneously to realize long-lifetime separator-free Zn-I2 batteries. The ACE membrane with abundant sulfonic acid groups possesses a multifunctional amalgamation of good mechanical strength, guided Zn2+ ion transport, and effective charge repulsion of polyiodide ions. Moreover, rich ether oxygen, carbonyl, and S-O bonds in anionic polymer chains will form hydrogen bonds with water to reduce the proportion of free water in the ACE membrane, inhibiting the water-induced interfacial side reactions of the Zn metal anode. Besides, DFT calculations and in-situ UV-vis and in situ Raman results reveal that the shuttle effect of polyiodide ions is also significantly suppressed. Therefore, the ACE membrane enables a long lifespan of Zn anodes (3700 h) and excellent cycling stability of Zn-I2 batteries (10000 cycles), thus establishing a substantial base for their practical applications.

Abstract
The development of high energy density and long cycle lifespan aqueous zinc ion batteries is hindered by the limited cathode materials and serious zinc dendrite growth. In this work, a defect-rich VS2 cathode material is manufactured by in situ electrochemical defect engineering under high charge cut-off voltage. Owing to the rich abundant vacancies and lattice distortion in the ab plane, the tailored VS2 can unlock the transport path of Zn2+ along the c-axis, enabling 3D Zn2+ transport along both the ab plane and c-axis, and reduce the electrostatic interaction between VS2 and zinc ions, thus achieving excellent rate capability (332 mA h g-1 and 227.8 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1 and 20 A g-1, respectively). The thermally favorable intercalation and 3D rapid transport of Zn2+ in the defect-rich VS2 are verified by multiple ex situ characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. However, the long cycling stability of the Zn-VS2 battery is still unsatisfactory due to the Zn dendrite issue. It can be found that the introduction of an external magnetic field enables changing the movement of Zn2+, suppressing the growth of zinc dendrites, and resulting in enhanced cycling stability from about 90 to 600 h in the Zn||Zn symmetric cell. As a result, a high-performance Zn-VS2 full cell is realized by operating under a weak magnetic field, which shows an ultralong cycle lifespan with a capacity of 126 mA h g-1 after 7400 cycles at 5 A g-1, and delivers the highest energy density of 304.7 W h kg-1 and maximum power density of 17.8 kW kg-1.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn metal batteries are attractive as safe and low-cost energy storage systems. At present, due to the narrow window of the aqueous electrolyte and the strong reliance of the Zn2+ ion intercalated reaction on the host structure, the current intercalated cathode materials exhibit restricted energy densities. In contrast, cathode materials with conversion reactions can promise higher energy densities. Especially, the recently reported conversion-type cathode materials that function in nonalkaline electrolytes have garnered increasing attention. This is because the use of nonalkaline electrolytes can prevent the occurrence of side reactions encountered in alkaline electrolytes and thereby enhance cycling stability. However, there is a lack of comprehensive review on the reaction mechanisms, progress, challenges, and solutions to these cathode materials. In this review, four kinds of conversion-type cathode materials including MnO2 , halogen materials (Br2 and I2 ), chalcogenide materials (O2 , S, Se, and Te), and Cu-based compounds (CuI, Cu2 O, Cu2 S, CuO, CuS, and CuSe) are reviewed. First, the reaction mechanisms and battery structures of these materials are introduced. Second, the fundamental problems and their corresponding solutions are discussed in detail in each material. Finally, future directions and efforts for the development of conversion-type cathode materials for aqueous Zn batteries are proposed.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous zinc iodine (ZnǀǀI2) batteries have been promising energy storage technologies due to low-cost position and constitutional safety of zinc anode, iodine cathode and aqueous electrolytes. Whereas, on one hand, the low-fraction utilization of electrochemically inert host causes severe shuttle of soluble polyiodides, deficient iodine utilization and sluggish reaction kinetics. On the other hand, the usage of high mass polar electrocatalysts occupies mass and volume of electrode materials and sacrifices device-level energy density. Here, we propose a "confinement-catalysis" host composed of Fe single atom catalyst embedding inside ordered mesoporous carbon host, which can effectively confine and catalytically convert I2/I- couple and polyiodide intermediates. Consequently, the cathode enables the high capacity of 188.2 mAh g-1 at 0.3 A g-1, excellent rate capability with a capacity of 139.6 mAh g-1 delivered at high current density of 15 A g-1 and ultra-long cyclic stability over 50,000 cycles with 80.5% initial capacity retained under high iodine loading of 76.72 wt%. Furthermore, the electrocatalytic host can also accelerate the [Formula: see text] conversion. The greatly improved electrochemical performance originates from the modulation of physicochemical confinement and the decrease of energy barrier for reversible I-/I2 and I2/I+ couples, and polyiodide intermediates conversions.

Abstract
The charging of nanoporous carbon via electrodeposition of solid iodine from iodide-based electrolyte is an efficient and ecofriendly method to produce battery cathodes. Here, the interactions at the carbon/iodine interface from first contact with the aqueous electrolyte to the electrochemical polarization conditions in a hybrid cell are investigated by a combination of in situ and ex situ methods. EQCM investigations confirm the flushing out of water from the pores during iodine formation at the positive electrode. XPS of the carbon surface shows irreversible oxidation at the initial electrolyte immersion and to a larger extent during the first few charge/discharge cycles. This leads to the creation of functional groups at the surface while further reactive sites are consumed by iodine, causing a kind of passivation during a stable cycling regime. Two sources of carbon electrode structural modifications during iodine formation in the nanopores have been revealed by in situ Raman spectroscopy, (i) charge transfer and (ii) mechanical strain, both causing reversible changes and thus preventing performance deterioration during the long-term cycling of energy storage devices that use iodine-charged carbon electrodes.

Abstract
The chlorine-based redox reaction (ClRR) could be exploited to produce secondary high-energy aqueous batteries. However, efficient and reversible ClRR is challenging, and it is affected by parasitic reactions such as Cl2 gas evolution and electrolyte decomposition. Here, to circumvent these issues, we use iodine as positive electrode active material in a battery system comprising a Zn metal negative electrode and a concentrated (e.g., 30 molal) ZnCl2 aqueous electrolyte solution. During cell discharge, the iodine at the positive electrode interacts with the chloride ions from the electrolyte to enable interhalogen coordinating chemistry and forming ICl3-. In this way, the redox-active halogen atoms allow a reversible three-electrons transfer reaction which, at the lab-scale cell level, translates into an initial specific discharge capacity of 612.5 mAh gI2-1 at 0.5 A gI2-1 and 25 °C (corresponding to a calculated specific energy of 905 Wh kgI2-1). We also report the assembly and testing of a Zn | |Cl-I pouch cell prototype demonstrating a discharge capacity retention of about 74% after 300 cycles at 200 mA and 25 °C (final discharge capacity of about 92 mAh).

Abstract
Pursuing conversion-type cathodes with high volumetric capacity that can be used in aqueous environments remains rewarding and challenging. Tellurium (Te) is a promising alternative electrode due to its intrinsic attractive electronic conductivity and high theoretical volumetric capacity yet still to be explored. Herein, the kinetically/thermodynamically co-dominat copper-tellurium (Cu-Te) alloying phase-conversion process and corresponding oxidation failure mechanism of tellurium are investigated using in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction and comprehensive ex situ characterization techniques. By virtue of the fundamental insights into the tellurium electrode, facile and precise electrolyte engineering (solvated structure modulation or reductive antioxidant addition) is implemented to essentially tackle the dramatic capacity loss in tellurium, affording reversible aqueous Cu-Te conversion reaction with an unprecedented ultrahigh volumetric capacity of up to 3927 mAh cm-3 , a flat long discharge plateau (capacity proportion of ≈81%), and an extraordinary level of capacity retention of 80.4% over 2000 cycles at 20 A g-1 of which lifespan thousand-fold longer than Cu-Te conversion using CuSO4 -H2 O electrolyte. This work paves a significant avenue for expanding high-performance conversion-type cathodes toward energetic aqueous multivalent-ion batteries.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-based batteries are promising candidates for the grid-scale energy storage owing to their nonflammability, ecofriendliness, and low cost. Nevertheless, their practical applications are hindered by the relatively low capacity and energy density. Herein, we develop a quasi-solid-state aqueous zinc-dual halogen battery composed of freestanding carbon cloth-iodine cathode and in situ prepared concentrated aqueous gel electrolyte. The freestanding composite cathode and aqueous gel electrolyte can afford iodine source and bromide ions, respectively, thus activating the I-/I0/I+ reaction by forming [IBr2]- interhalogen. Furthermore, the conversion reaction of Br-/Br0 in [IBr2]- interhalogen is stimulated due to the catalytic effect of iodine. Therefore, this rationally designed aqueous dual halogen conversion chemistry enables three successive redox reactions (i.e., I-/I0, I0/I+, and Br-/Br0). Additionally, the LiNO3 additive and acrylamide (AM)-based polymer matrix not only stabilizes the anode/electrolyte interface but also restrains the side reactions and dissolution/diffusion of active species. Consequently, the as-assembled aqueous zinc-dual halogen battery exhibits high areal capacity and energy density.

Abstract
Hollow carbon materials are regarded as crucial support materials in catalysis and electrochemical energy storage on account of their unique porous structure and electrical properties. Herein, an indium-based organic framework of InOF-1 can be thermally carbonized under inert argon to form indium particles through the redox reaction between nanosized indium oxide and carbon matrix. In particular, a type of porous hollow carbon nanostraw (HCNS) is in situ obtained by combining the fusion and removal of indium within the decarboxylation process. The as-synthesized HCNS, which possesses more charge active sites, short and quick electron, and ion transport pathways, has become an excellent carrier for electrochemically active species such as iodine with its unique internal cavity and interconnected porous structure on the tube wall. Furthermore, the assembled zinc-iodine batteries (ZIBs) provide a high capacity of 234.1 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 , which ensures that the adsorption and dissolution of iodine species in the electrolyte reach a rapid equilibrium. The rate and cycle performance of the HCNS-based ZIBs are greatly improved, thereby exhibiting an excellent capacity retention rate. It shows a better electrochemical exchange capacity than typical unidirectional carbon nanotubes, making HCNS an ideal cathode material for a new generation of high-performance batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous metal||I2 electrochemical energy storage systems are a cost-effective alternative to conventional transition-metal-based batteries for grid energy storage. However, the growth of unfavorable metallic deposition and the irreversible formation of electrochemically inactive by-products at the negative electrode during cycling hinder their development. To circumvent these drawbacks, herein we propose 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PTCDI) as negative electrode active material and a saturated mixed KCl/I2 aqueous electrolyte solution. The use of these components allows for exploiting two sequential reversible electrochemical reactions in a single cell. Indeed, when they are tested in combination with an active carbon-enveloped I2 electrode in a glass cell configuration, we report an initial specific discharge capacity of 900 mAh g−1 (electrode mass of iodine only) and an average cell discharge voltage of 1.25 V at 40 A g−1 and 25\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

Abstract
Lattice distortion and structure collapse are two intrinsic issues of intercalative-type electrodes derived from repeated ion shuttling. In contrast, rechargeable iodine batteries (RIBs) based on the conversion reaction of iodine stand out for high reversibility and satisfying voltage output characteristics no matter when dealing with both monovalent and multivalent ions. Foreseeable performance superiorities lead to an influx of considerable focus and thus a renaissance in RIBs. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental chemistry of RIBs from the perspectives of physicochemical properties, conversion mechanism, and existing issues. Furthermore, we refine the optimization strategies for high-performance RIBs, focusing on physical adsorption and chemical interaction strengthening, electrolytes regulation, and nanoscale-iodine design. Then the pros and cons of tremendous RIBs are compared and specified. Ultimately, we conclude with remaining challenges and perspectives to our best knowledge, which may inspire the construction of next-generation RIBs.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are promising cathode candidates with high structural stability. However, they contain redox inactive linkages and experience low redox potential. Herein, a full anti-aromatic microporous COF cathode material of TAQ-BQ is designed for aqueous zinc batteries. The anti-aromatic conjugation effectively lowers the energy level of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital as revealed by theoretical calculations, which corresponds to an elevated redox potential. Besides, the structure contains imino active sites at the linkages, in addition to carbonyl at the active parts. As a result, the TAQ-BQ cathode exhibits a voltage of 1.53 V/1.54 V and between 1.35 and 0.45 V in zinc cells. It delivers 208 mAh g-1 capacity at 0.1 A g-1 and maintains 136 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1. Stable cycling is realized for 1000 cycles with 87% capacity retention. The co-de/insertion of Zn2+ and protons is identified for energy storage. Our work reveals the promises of COF cathode materials for aqueous zinc batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous zinc-based batteries (AZBs) have received massive attention as promising contenders for the future large-scale energy storage due to their low cost, inherent safety, and abundant resources. However, the insufficient energy density and poor stability have become the key to hinder their further application. As is well known, the energy densities (E, Wh kg-1 ) of AZBs are determined by the specific capacity (mAh g-1 ) and output voltage (V). Given the fixed redox potential and capacity of the Zn metal anode, the energy density of AZBs is mainly determined by the cathode material, and the rich material systems of the cathode provide more possibilities to this field. Meanwhile, the methods to improve the stability and performance of the Zn anodes have gained more and more attention due to the severe Zn dendrite growth that can pierce the separator and lead to short-circuiting of the cell. Therefore, in this review, we comprehensively summarize the rational design methods in optimizing the cathode, anode, and device architecture, and classic examples of each catalogue are discussed in details as well. Last, the issues and outlook for further development of high performance AZBs are also presented.

Abstract
Aqueous rechargeable zinc-iodine batteries (ZIBs), including zinc-iodine redox flow batteries and static ZIBs, are promising candidates for future grid-scale electrochemical energy storage. They are safe with great theoretical capacity, high energy, and power density. Nevertheless, to make aqueous rechargeable ZIBs practically feasible, there are quite a few hurdles that need to be overcome, including self-discharge, sluggish kinetics, low energy density, and instability of Zn metal anodes. This article first reviews the electrochemistry in aqueous rechargeable ZIBs, including the flow and static battery configurations and their electrode reactions. Then the authors discuss the fundamental questions of ZIBs and highlight the key strategies and recent accomplishments in tackling the challenges. Last, they share their thoughts on the future research development in aqueous rechargeable ZIBs.

Abstract
In aqueous Zn-ion batteries, the intercalation chemistry often foil attempts at the realization of high energy density. Unlocking the full potential of zinc-sulfur redox chemistry requires the manipulation of the feedbacks between kinetic response and the cathode's composition. The cell degradation mechanism also should be tracked simultaneously. Herein, we design a high-energy Zn-S system where the high-capacity cathode was fabricated by in situ interfacial polymerization of Fe(CN)64--doped polyaniline within the sulfur nanoparticle. Compared with sulfur, the FeII/III(CN)64/3- redox mediators exhibit substantially faster cation (de)insertion kinetics. The higher cathodic potential (FeII(CN)64-/FeIII(CN)63- ∼ 0.8 V vs S/S2- ∼ 0.4 V) spontaneously catalyzes the full reduction of sulfur during battery discharge (S8 + Zn2FeII(CN)6 ↔ ZnS + Zn1.5FeIII(CN)6, ΔG = -24.7 kJ mol-1). The open iron redox species render a lower energy barrier to ZnS activation during the reverse charging process, and the facile Zn2+ intercalative transport facilitates highly reversible conversion between S and ZnS. The yolk-shell structured cathode with 70 wt % sulfur delivers a reversible capacity of 1205 mAh g-1 with a flat operation voltage of 0.58 V, a fade rate over 200 cycles of 0.23%/cycle, and an energy density of 720 Wh kgsulfur-1. A range of ex situ investigations reveal the degradation nature of Zn-S cells: aggregation of inactive ZnS nanocrystals rather than the depletion of Zn anode. Impressively, the flexible solid-state Zn battery employing the composite cathode was assembled, realizing an energy density of 375 Wh kgsulfur-1. The proposed redox electrocatalysis effect provides reliable insights into the tunable Zn-S chemistry.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous zinc batteries (AZBs) are one of the promising options for large-scale electrical energy storage owing to their safety, affordability and environmental friendliness. During the past decade, there have been remarkable advancements in the AZBs technology, which are achieved through intensive efforts not only in the area of electrode materials but also in the fundamental understandings of non-electrode components such as electrolytes, solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), current collectors, binders, and separators. In particular, the breakthroughs in the non-electrode components should not be underestimated in having enabled the AZBs to attain a higher energy and power density beyond that of the conventional AZBs, proving their critical role. In this article, the recent research progress is comprehensively reviewed with respect to non-electrode components in AZBs, covering the new-type of electrolytes that have been introduced, attempts for the tailoring of SEI, and the design efforts for multi-functional current collectors, binders and separators, along with the remaining challenges associated with these non-electrode components. Finally, perspectives are discussed toward future research directions in this field. This extensive overview on the non-electrode components is expected to guide and spur further development of high-performance AZBs.

Abstract
In recent years, the increasing demand for high-capacity and safe energy storage has focused attention on zinc batteries featuring high voltage, high capacity, or both. Despite extensive research progress, achieving high-energy-density zinc batteries remains challenging and requires the synergistic regulation of multiple factors including reaction mechanisms, electrodes, and electrolytes. In this Review, we comprehensively summarize the rational design strategies of high-energy-density zinc batteries and critically analyze the positive effects and potential issues of these strategies in optimizing the electrochemistry, cathode materials, electrolytes, and device architecture. Finally, the challenges and perspectives for the further development of high-energy-density zinc batteries are outlined to guide research towards new-generation batteries for household appliances, low-speed electric vehicles, and large-scale energy storage systems.

Abstract
Currently, reported aqueous microbatteries (MBs) only show unsatisfactory electrochemical performance (≤120 mWh cm-3 volumetric energy density and <1000 μWh cm-2 areal energy density) and it remains challenging to develop durable aqueous MBs that can simultaneously offer both high volumetric and areal energy density. Herein, an in situ electrodeposition strategy is adopted to construct a flexible aqueous zinc-iodine MB (ZIDMB). Notably, the fabrication process well avoids the use of common additives (such as binders, conductive agents, and toxic solvent) and also bypasses subsequent time-consuming procedures such as grinding, coating, drying, etc., thus greatly simplifying the manufacture of the ZIDMB. Meanwhile, owing to the suppression of the shuttle effect of triiodide ions and the high ionic conductivity of the polyelectrolyte, the ZIDMB can simultaneously deliver record-high volumetric and areal energy densities of 1647.3 mWh cm-3 and 2339.1 μWh cm-2 , thus achieving values at least 13.5- and 2.3-fold better than those of best available aqueous MBs, respectively. This work affords an innovative strategy to construct an ideal micro-power-source for future miniaturized and integrated electronics.

NANO-MICRO LETTERS 2022; 14:82.

Abstract
High-performance Zn||I2 batteries were established by coating zeolite protecting layers. The Zn2+-conductive layer suppresses I3- shuttling, Zn corrosion/dendrite growth. The Zeolite-Zn||I2 batteries achieve long lifespan (91.92% capacity retention after 5600 cycles), high coulombic efficiencies (99.76% in average) and large capacity (203-196 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1) simultaneously. The intrinsically safe Zn||I2 battery, one of the leading candidates aiming to replace traditional Pb-acid batteries, is still seriously suffering from short shelf and cycling lifespan, due to the uncontrolled I3--shuttling and dynamic parasitic reactions on Zn anodes. Considering the fact that almost all these detrimental processes terminate on the surfaces of Zn anodes, modifying Zn anodes' surface with protecting layers should be one of the most straightforward and thorough approaches to restrain these processes. Herein, a facile zeolite-based cation-exchange protecting layer is designed to comprehensively suppress the unfavored parasitic reactions on the Zn anodes. The negatively-charged cavities in the zeolite lattice provide highly accessible migration channels for Zn2+, while blocking anions and electrolyte from passing through. This low-cost cation-exchange protecting layer can simultaneously suppress self-discharge, anode corrosion/passivation, and Zn dendrite growth, awarding the Zn||I2 batteries with ultra-long cycle life (91.92% capacity retention after 5600 cycles at 2 A g-1), high coulombic efficiencies (99.76% in average) and large capacity (203-196 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1). This work provides a highly affordable approach for the construction of high-performance Zn-I2 aqueous batteries.

Abstract
Single-electron transfer mode coupled with the shuttle behavior of organic iodine batteries results in insufficient capacity, low redox potential, and poor cycle durability. Sluggish kinetics are well identified in the conventional lithium-iodine (Li-I) batteries, inferior to other conversion congeners. Herein, we demonstrate the new two-electron redox chemistry of I - /I + with the inter-halogens cooperation based on a developed haloid cathode. The new iodide ion conversion battery exhibits a state-of-art capacity of 408 mAh g-1 I with fast redox kinetics and superior cycle stability. Equipped with a newly emerged 3.42 V discharge voltage plateau, a recorded high energy density of 1324 Wh kg-1 I is achieved. Such robust redox chemistry is temperature-insensitive and operates efficiently at -30 °C. With systematic theoretical calculations and experimental characterizations, the formation of Cl-I + species and their functions are clarified.

Abstract
Rechargeable zinc (Zn)-ion batteries are regarded as highly prospective candidates for next-generation renewable and safe energy storage systems. However, the uncontrolled dendrite growth of the Zn anode impedes their practical application. Here, a scalable and controllable approach is developed for converting commercial titanium (Ti) foil to 3D porous Ti, which retains good resistance to corrosion, high electrical conductivity, and excellent mechanical properties. Benefiting from a spontaneous ultrathin zincophilic titanium dioxide (TiO2) interfacial layer and continuous 3D structure, the 3D porous Ti can act as an effective host to achieve a 3D Ti/Zn metal anode. By ensuring homogeneous nucleation, uniform current distribution, and volume change accommodation, the dendritic growth of 3D Ti/Zn metal anode is effectively inhibited with stable Zn plating/stripping up to 2000 h with low polarization. When conjugated with a 3D sulfur-doped Ti3C2Tx MXene@MnO2 nanotube cathode, a high rate and stable Zn cell is achieved with 95.46% capacity retention after 500 cycles at a high rate of 5 A g-1. This work may also be interesting for researches in porous metals and other battery systems.
