Advanced Energy Materials, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Oct. 13, 2024

Abstract Zinc (Zn) emerges as an ideal anode for aqueous‐based energy storage devices because of its safety, non‐toxicity, and cost‐effectiveness. However, the reversibility zinc anodes is constrained by unchecked dendrite proliferation parasitic side reactions. To minimize these adverse effects, a highly oriented, crystalline 2D porous fluorinated covalent organic framework (denoted TpBD‐2F) thin film in situ synthesized on Zn protective layer. The zincophilic hydrophobic TpBD‐2F provides numerous 1D nanochannels, which facilitate hopping/transfer 2+ repel H 2 O infiltration, thus regulating flux inhibiting interfacial corrosion. resulting enabled stable plating/stripping symmetric cells over 1200 h at mA cm −2 . Furthermore, assembled full (Zn‐ion capacitors) deliver ultra‐long cycling life 100 000 cycles current density 5 A g −1 , outperforming nearly all reported materials.
