This invention provides a
zinc foil surface treatment method for inhibiting
dendrite growth, comprising: immersing a
zinc foil with ultrasonically cleaned surface in an acidic mixture to obtain a
zinc foil with a preferred zinc (002)
crystal facet under
acid etching; immersing the zinc foil with the preferred zinc (002)
crystal facet in a mercaptosilane
coupling agent solution, and through
hydrolysis, forming a nanostructured zinc-
silane composite layer on the zinc foil surface; and
drying the zinc foil with the zinc-
silane composite layer to obtain a zinc foil that can inhibit
dendrite growth. The zinc foil surface treatment method for inhibiting
dendrite growth described in this invention can generate a zinc-
silane composite layer and zinc with (002)
crystal facet orientation on the zinc foil surface. This composite layer has a strong
zinc ion adsorption capacity, which can improve
ion kinetics, promote uniform zinc plating and peeling, and the preferred (002) crystal facet can induce parallel growth of
zinc metal and
resist electrolyte corrosion, thereby effectively inhibiting zinc dendrites and stabilizing the
electrode /
electrolyte interface.
