Description
Zeyu Wang's team reworked seeding theory for zinc aqueous cells, which lacked a zinc-exact account of plating at the zinc-water edge. Without it, blocking hydrogen evolution and dendrites, the barriers to practical zinc cells, stayed trial-and-error.
Adapting classical spherical seeding to zinc's six-sided close-packed crystal and adding edge drag, the team defined a unit-free marker, Wf. It merges angle driving force with drag, where higher values aid uniform plating. A high-Wf liquid ran over seven hundred hours at full depth of discharge and 7,660 cycles at high current in a zinc-sodium V oxide cell.
