Figure 5.

SEM images and magnified SEM images of the deposited Zn metal in (a) 2 M Zn(CF3SO3)2 electrolyte and (c) ZHD30 electrolyte after the 50th plating. AFM images of Zn nucleation and growth in (b) 2 M Zn(CF3SO3)2 electrolyte and (d) ZHD30 electrolyte during the initial Zn electrodeposition. (e) XRD patterns of Zn anodes after plating/stripping cycles in Zn(CF3SO3)2 and ZHD30 electrolytes. (f) Galvanostatic Zn plating/stripping curves in Zn‖Zn symmetric cells at a current density of 0.5 mA cm−2 and an areal capacity of 0.5 mAh cm−2. Contact-angle measurement on Zn in (g) 2 M Zn(CF3SO3)2 electrolyte and (h) ZHD30 electrolyte.
