Zn-Ion Hybrid Capacitor Cyclic Stability Enhancement via Zinc Nitride Coating
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide By depositing zinc nitride on bare Zn, the present study showcases that nitride coating suppresses formation of the insulating oxide/hydroxide layer, controls the growth of Zn nucleation, and forms a uniform network of Zn nanostructures. Hence, an aqueous zinc-ion hybrid microcapacitor delivers better charge-storage performance and long lifespan with capacitance retention of 110% after 10 000 cycles.
