Unraveling the mechanism of non-uniform zinc deposition in rechargeable zinc-based batteries with vertical orientation

In this work, the inhomogeneous deposition behavior of zinc in the vertical direction was investigated by a combination of experimental and numerical simulations. Firstly, the inhomogeneous deposition of zinc was studied by means of optical observation, and on this basis, the mechanism leading to the formation of inhomogeneous deposition was revealed by means of numerical simulation. This work can provide a reference for the design of zinc electrodes in the future.
