Abstract
Highly Reversible Zinc Anode In article number 2207898, Yanyan Zhang, Guichuan Xing, Yuxin Tang and co-workers construct a stable solid-electrolyte-interface (SEI) layer to modulate the Zn nucleation and overpotential of hydrogen evolution via introducing the sericin molecular. This SEI layer can thermodynamically stabilize the Zn/electrolyte interface, homogenize the ionic fluxing, and inhibit the hydrogen generation, contributing to the highly reversible zinc anode and the improved electrochemical performance of zinc-ion batteries.
