Abstract

Researchers are paying more attention to Zinc ion battery (ZIB) because of the environment-friendly and low cost. However, the dendrite growth during cycling of Zn anode is still limited its long-term stability. Therefore, we report the electrodeposition of nano TiO₂ into Zn coatings and apply this composite coating for the anode materials of ZIBs. The Zn coatings and Zn/TiO₂ composite coatings in the electrolyte have been deposited on the stainless-steel foil and applied as the battery electrode. The plating/stripping testing in the symmetric cell demonstrate that the incorporation of TiO₂ into Zn coatings can decrease the overpotential between plating and stripping curves. In addition, nano flower MnO₂ as the cathode was synthesized by using hydrothermal method. The galvanostatic charge-discharge tests reveal that the Zn/TiO₂//MnO₂ aqueous batteries exhibit the higher rate ability and cycle performance than those of Zn//MnO₂ batteries.
