The article "Advanced cellulose-based materials toward stabilizing zinc anodes" by Li et al. reviews the advancements in using cellulose-based materials to address the challenges associated with zinc anodes in rechargeable aqueous zinc metal batteries (RAZMBs). The authors highlight the benefits of Zn anodes, such as moderate energy density, low redox potential, and intrinsic safety, but also discuss the adverse reactions that limit their performance, including dendrite growth, hydrogen evolution, and surface passivation. To mitigate these issues, the review categorizes and summarizes the literature on effective strategies, including anode interfacial engineering, gel electrolyte optimization, and separator modification. The unique properties of cellulose, such as biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and degradability, make it an attractive material for Zn anode protection. The article concludes by outlining the current challenges and future prospects in this field, emphasizing the potential of cellulose-based materials for enhancing the performance of RAZMBs.The article "Advanced cellulose-based materials toward stabilizing zinc anodes" by Li et al. reviews the advancements in using cellulose-based materials to address the challenges associated with zinc anodes in rechargeable aqueous zinc metal batteries (RAZMBs).
