Abstract
Much attention has been attracted by aqueous zinc zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) due to the features of inherent safety, environmental compatibility, low cost and fantastic energy density. Nevertheless, chemical corrosion and dendrite growth occurring on Zn anode during the charge/discharge process usually cause the surface passivation and short circuit of cells, seriously hindering the development of AZIBs. To settle these problems, a Cu(II)/polydopamine modified glass fiber (Cu-PDA/GF) is designed as separator. Due to the enhanced ionic conductivity of Cu(II) and PDA modified glass fiber separator, reversible zinc plating/striping is achieved in symmetric cells, which display long cycle life of over 1800 h at the current density of 1 mA cm−2 with the fixed capacity of 1 mAh cm−2. Moreover, the assembled Zn//V2O5 cells using Cu-PDA/GF separator also demonstrate improved capacity retention. The present study provides a simple separator modification strategy for high-performance and reliable AZIBs, which are conducive to energy storage devices.
