Ferroelectric Separators for Suppressing Dendrites Growth in Rechargeable Batteries

A mesoporous piezoelectric or ferroelectric (FE) Al2O3 / P(VDF-TrFE) membrane can actively suppress anode dendrites formation when used as a separator in rechargeable aqueous Zn-ion batteries. When the positive polarization side of the FE separator faces the metal anode during charging, the FE separator can reverse the local energetics for Zn2+ reduction at the protrusion area and deplete incoming Zn2+ ions to the flat region. As a result, the symmetric Zn—Zn cell with this P+ separator can achieve a substantially higher cycling stability.
