"2D anionic nanosheet additive for stable Zn metal anodes in aqueous el" by Yuanjun Zhang, Zhongyi Huang et al.
Metallic Zinc (Zn) has attracted great attention as a promising anode for aqueous batteries owing to its high theoretical capacity, low cost, and high natural abundance. However, Zn anode suffers from a crucial challenge, namely the growth of Zn dendrites, which brings not only a short life span but also severe safety concerns. In this work, we report that anionic tin sulfide nanosheets (TS-Ns) server as electrolyte additive to mitigate the dendrite growth. The negatively charge TS-Ns can attract the positive Zn2+ from the electrolyte through electrostatic interaction and increase the local co...
