    high-performance alkaline aqueous zinc-air battery

## Description

- description: Monometallic Zn is a promising anode material for post-lithium batteries
    owing to its high theoretical capacity, low cost and natural abundance. However,
    the practical application in zinc–air batteries (ZABs) remain limited by uncontrollable
    dendrite growth and severe voltage polarization during repeated cycling. Herein,
    we report a self-supported Sb-modified porous lamellar zincophilic electrode (Sb-pZn)
    as a reversible, dendrite-free and high-performance hostless Zn anode for aqueous
    alkaline rechargeable ZABs. The porous lamellar framework is fabricated by selectively
    dissolving the Al component from the eutectic Zn–Al alloy via chemical dealloying,
    followed by surface modification through galvanic replacement in SbCl3 solution.
    The Sb-pZn anode with lamellar thickness of ~2920 nm (Sb-pZn-2920) enables continuous
    electron and ion transport pathways through quasi-periodic lamellar channels and
    interconnected ligament network, ensuring uniform Zn deposition and dissolution.
    Moreover, Sb incorporation introduces abundant zincophilic sites that accelerate
    charge-transfer kinetics and enhance reversibility. As a result, the Sb-pZn-2920
    anode shows exceptional Zn plating-stripping behaviours with ultralow overpotential
    of 31.7 mV for up to 1700 h at 2 mA cm−2 in symmetric cells and maintains stable
    charge–discharge cycling for 240 cycles at 20 mA cm−2 under ambient conditions
    in ZAB full cells. This work presents a facile and scalable strategy for constructing
    high-performance Zn anodes and offers valuable insights into the development of
    practical, durable and reversible ZABs.
