摘要: Zn metal is a promising anode material for high-energy-density aqueous batteries, but it is plagued by dendrite, low stripping/plating efficiency, and inevitable depletion of active Zn. Herein, a low-intercalation-potential material, Cu7Te4, is reported as both an anode material and Zn dendrite inhibitor for aqueous Zn batteries. A low plateau of 0.2 V (vs Zn2+/Zn), high capacity of 216 mA h g(-1), and superior cyclability over 4200 cycles can be realized by Cu7Te4 anode. Moreover, when Zn is modified with Cu7Te4 layer, a hybrid anode based on "intercalation-deposition" mechanism can be ingeniously developed, in which Zn2+ ions are sequentially inserted into Cu7Te4 and uniformly deposed on Zn at successive low potential. A battery built on such a mechanism sustains more than 1000 h and 1000 times in comparison to less than 100 h and 350 times of a bare Zn. Furthermore, an aqueous "rocking-chair" Cu7Te4//ZnI2 Zn-ion full battery is further demonstrated, which can realize energy densities of 65.3 Wh kg(-1) and 86% capacity retentions after 10 000 cycles. This research contributes to a stable anode material for aqueous Zn batteries and provides an effective strategy to address the Zn dendrite.
