Abstract
Metal-based anodes (Li, Zn, etc.) are regarded as promising solutions for next-generation advanced batteries due to their high theoretical specific capacities. However, most of these metal anodes suffer from dendrite growth, which severely restricts their practical applications. Recently, epitaxial anode metal deposition by choosing a suitable substrate has received tremendous attention as an effective strategy to suppress dendrites. However, the epitaxial relationship between plated metal and the substrate has been a subject of debate. Herein, large-area, mono-orientated 2D material (MoS<sub>2</sub> ) is used, for the first time, to electrodeposit truly epitaxial Zn anodes. The continuous (without edges) mono-orientated MoS<sub>2</sub> films are shown to be an effective strategy for suppressing metal dendrites. In addition, the epitaxial nature of the electrodeposited Zn anode is proven by pole figure analysis, which provides the first demonstration of truly epitaxial Zn anode growth over large area as metal anode protection strategy through epitaxy.
