New strategy for zinc anode corrosion protection: Development of a benzothiazole-based inhibitor and its optimization for battery performance
Source abstract
Abstract
The widespread application of aqueous zinc-ion batteries is hindered by corrosion, dendritic growth, and hydrogen evolution on zinc anodes. This study introduces the zincophilic and hydrophobic molecule 2-amino-6-trifluoromethoxybenzothiazole (TBA) to modify the Zn||ZnSO 4 electrolyte interface through “steric effect”, forming a protective layer with a corrosion inhibition efficiency reaching 99.1 %. Hence, Zn||Zn cells cycle stably for over 1600 h at 5 mA cm −2, and Zn||Cu cells for over 300 cycles at 1 mA cm −2 with 99.25 % coulombic efficiency (CE). Zn||α-MnO 2 full cells also show good stability. This research offers a novel method for stable aqueous metal batteries.
