TI  - Alleviating Zn Dendrites by Growth of Ultrafine ZnO Nanowire Arrays through 
      Horizontal Anodizing for High-Capacity, Long-Life Zn Ion Capacitors.

AB  - Zn ion capacitors (ZICs) composed of a carbon-based cathode and a Zn anode are 
      one of the most promising energy storage devices due to their inherent safety and 
      high-power output. However, their poor cycling stability originating from the Zn 
      dendrites' formation and low energy density limited by insufficient activated 
      carbon properties remain major challenges for development of high-performance 
      ZICs. Hence, we constructed a facile and effective strategy to alleviate "edge 
      effects" and suppress Zn dendrites by growing ZnO nanowire arrays on Zn foil 
      (ZnO@Zn) using a horizontally potentiostatic anodizing technique. The 
      electrochemical characterizations and in situ optical microscopy observation 
      revealed that the introduction of ZnO nanowire arrays can significantly suppress 
      the growth of Zn dendrites and enhance the cycling stability of the Zn anode. The 
      superfine and interlaced ZnO nanowire arrays provide uniform nucleation sites and 
      high electrical conductivity for the Zn metal anode, reducing the local current 
      density and promoting the rapid diffusion and migration of Zn ions on the Zn 
      anode surface. As a result, the ZnO@Zn electrode has a very low nucleation 
      overpotential and excellent cycle stability, far superior to the bare Zn anode. 
      Furthermore, a ZnO@Zn//NPHC ZIC assembled with an N, P-codoped hard carbon (NPHC) 
      cathode delivers a high specific capacity of 110.3 mAh g(-1) at 0.1 A g(-1) and 
      achieves outstanding cycling stability with 90% capacity retention together with 
       approximately 100% Coulombic efficiency after 20000 cycles.
