RT Journal Article A1 Zengxia Pei; AD 化学与生物分子工程学院, 澳大利亚 T1 Symmetric is nonidentical: Operation history matters for Zn metal anode YR 2022 vo 1 OP 9120023 K1 energy storage;dendrite;zinc metal battery;symmetric cell AB Zn metal electrode is the key to enabling the full vision of next-generation Zn-metal batteries (ZMBs). Thus far, the critical dendrite issue still restricts the Zn anode lifespan, which has even become the Achilles heel to the rejuvenation of ZMBs. This highlight previews the latest advance of Zn anode research, which suggests that Zn electrodes with initial stripping and plating can surprisingly lead to different morphology evolution routes. A proposed pre-deposition strategy is demonstrated to stabilize the Zn anode and homogenize further Zn plating/stripping. SN 2791-0091 LA EN
