Rechargeable aqueous zinc (Zn) batteries are promising for large energy storage due to their low cost, high safety, and environmental compatibility, but their commercialization is hindered by the severe irreversibility of Zn metal anodes as exemplified by water-induced side reactions (H2 evolution and Zn corrosion) and dendrite growth. In this work, hierarchical layered silver-coated zinc anode under the assistance of anionic surfactant (trisodium citrate) was prepared for long-time cycle stabilities of zinc stripping and plating, where Ag coat...
