The last several years have witnessed the prosperous development of zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs), which are considered as a promising competitor of energy storage systems thanks to their low cost and high safety. However, the reversibility and availability of this system are blighted by problems such as uncontrollable dendritic growth, hydrogen evolution, and corrosion passivation on anode side. A functionally and structurally well-designed anode current collectors (CCs) is believed as a viable solution for those problems, with a lack of summarization according to its working mechanisms. Herein, this review focuses on the challenges of zinc anode and the mechanisms of modified anode CCs, which can be divided into zincophilic modification, structural design, and steering the preferred crystal facet orientation. The possible prospects and directions on zinc anode research and design are proposed at the end to hopefully promote the practical application of ZIBs.
在过去的几年里，锌离子电池（ZIBs）蓬勃发展，由于其低成本和高安全性，被视为储能系统中一个有前景的竞争者。然而，该系统的可逆性和可用性受到诸如阳极侧不可控的枝晶生长、析氢和腐蚀钝化等问题的影响。功能和结构设计良好的阳极集流体（CCs）被认为是解决这些问题的可行方案，但目前缺乏对其工作机制的总结。在此，本综述重点关注锌阳极面临的挑战以及改性阳极集流体的作用机制，其可分为亲锌改性、结构设计和引导择优晶面取向。最后提出了锌阳极研究和设计的可能前景和方向，以期推动锌离子电池的实际应用。
