PG - 629-639 LID - S0021-9797(23)00211-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.02.028 [doi] AB - The zinc-ion battery (ZIB) has been extensively researched as one of the promising electrochemical power sources. However, the problem of Zn-dendrite formation during repeated plating and stripping process seriously hinders the development of ZIBs. Herein, three-dimensional (3D) honeycomb-like porous carbon (HPC) with co-doping of zinc and nitrogen is prepared through confining growth of nanoscale zeolite imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) on the well-designed nano-pools walls of HPC followed by pyrolysis at 600 ℃ to obtain the final product ZnN/HPC-600, which exhibits large surface area and abundant zincophilic interfaces, ensuring homogeneous distribution of electronic field and low polarization during cycling process. Importantly, ZnN/HPC-600 facilitates the uniform distribution and migration of Zn(2+) in this nano-pools structure, avoiding the growth of dendritic Zn crystal during charging stage. The symmetric and asymmetric cells with Zn/ZnN/HPC-600 anodes are assembled, demonstrating excellent cycling reversibility, good rate performance and long-term stability. Besides, a Zn||MnO(2) full cell with Zn/ZnN/HPC-600 anode also exhibits robust cycling stability, fast reaction kinetics and almost 100 % coulombic efficiency. This work offers a novel and efficient carbonaceous nano-pools strategy to realize dendrite-free zinc anode in ZIBs. CI - Copyright (c) 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
