Abstract

Aqueous zinc-ion battery anodes face the twin challenges of dendrite growth and severe side reactions. Here a liquid-infiltrated Al₂O₃ framework electrolyte (LIAFE) is developed to address these issues and enables stable long-life Zn anodes for over 4000 hours. The LIAFE shows a uniform morphology and exhibits enhanced performance.
