Bio-inspired design of an<i>in situ</i>multifunctional polymeric solid–electrolyte interphase for Zn metal anode cycling at 30 mA cm⁻²and 30 mA h cm⁻²

Abstract

We report a bio-inspired design strategy for constructing an in situ polymeric SEI in aqueous Zn chemistry. This SEI can restrain interfacial side reactions, facilitate a uniform Zn 2+ flux, and consequently endow a highly stable Zn metal anode.
