Achieving reversible zinc electrodeposition through a holistic interfacial energy framework
Abstract
arrival hierarchy, the Helmholtz layer governs desolvation and interfacial selectivity, and the nucleation landscape directs crystallographic evolution. Viewing these steps as a coupled cascade provides a unified mechanistic picture of Zn interfacial behavior. We further highlight operando characterization and multiscale modeling techniques that now make this coupling experimentally and computationally accessible, offering actionable principles for designing stable aqueous Zn anodes.
