In-situ observation of the Zn electrodeposition on the planar electrode in the alkaline electrolytes with different viscosities

This work simulates the gelation process of alkaline electrolyte by changing the viscosity, and observes the deposition process of zincate ions by in-situ observation. Combined with the data analysis of deposition thickness, the effect of current and viscosity on the deposition process is explored. The conclusions of this work will guide the selection of electrolytes for future zinc-based batteries, and the in-situ observation technology will provide new ideas and methods for the mechanism research of battery interfaces.
