Binder-Free Self-Assembled Zn Nanowire Networks as Enhanced Electrochemical Performance Anodes for Aqueous Rechargeable Zinc-Based Batteries
This work presents advanced binder-free self-assembling Zn nanowire anodes synthesized by an easy-to-handle one-step low-pressure physical vapor deposition method. The morphology and structure of zinc nanowire networks are controlled and altered by the substrate temperature during deposition. Electrochemical performance of two types of Zn nanowire network samples of different morphology is studied in alkaline and mildly acidic aqueous electrolytes using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques and compared to that of Zn foil electrodes. It is found that the morphology and structure of the Zn nanowire electrodes are directly related to their electrochemical performance and can be tuned for the type and concentration of the electrolyte to reach optimal electrochemical performance. The resulting binder-free self-assembled Zn nanowire anodes significantly outperform traditional Zn-based electrodes in both mild acidic and alkaline electrolytes, showing an areal capacitance of ~3.3 F/cm2 and 3.5 F/cm2 for acidic and alkaline electrolytes, respectively, and stability up to 1000 h of cycling in mild acidic electrolytes. These findings provide a pathway to fabricate and optimize binder-free zinc anodes for a variety of efficient and long-lasting aqueous zinc-based batteries and supercapacitors.
