Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have emerged as one of the most promising candidates for next-generation energy storage devices due to their outstanding safety, cost-effectiveness, and environmental friendliness. However, the practical application of zinc metal anodes (ZMAs) faces significant challenges, such as dendrite growth, hydrogen evolution reaction, corrosion, and passivation. Fortunately, the rapid rise of nanomaterials has inspired solutions for addressing these issues associated with ZMAs. Nanomaterials with unique structural features and multifunctionality can be employed to modify ZMAs, effectively enhancing their interfacial stability and cycling reversibility. Herein, an overview of the failure mechanisms of ZMAs is presented, and the latest research progress of nanomaterials in protecting ZMAs is comprehensively summarized, including electrode structures, interfacial layers, electrolytes, and separators. Finally, a brief summary and optimistic perspective are given on the development of nanomaterials for ZMAs. This review provides a valuable reference for the rational design of efficient ZMAs and the promotion of large-scale application of AZIBs. © 2024 American Chemical Society.
