Regulating the electro-deposition behavior of Fe metal anode and the applications in rechargeable aqueous iron-iodine batteries

Metallic Li is the most promising anode material for next-generation batteries pursuing higher energy densities. However, its uncontrollable electro-deposition would cause unstable breakage of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and severe...

When we examine the random growth of trees along a linear alley in a rural area, we wonder what governs the location of those trees, and hence the distance between adjacent ones. The same question arises when we observe the growth of metal electro-deposition trees along a linear cathode in a rectangular film of solution. We carry out different sets of experiments wherein zinc trees are grown by electrolysis from a linear graphite cathode in a 2D film of zinc sulfate solution toward a thick zinc metal anode. We measure the distance between adjacent trees, calculate the average for each set, and correlate the latter with probability and entropy. We also obtain a computational image of the grown trees as a function of parameters such as the cell size, number of particles, and sticking probability. The dependence of average distance on concentration is studied and assessed.

Ca-containing anodic alumina (CAA) has been successfully prepared by anodizing Al film in an alkali solution at a constant voltage and subsequently electro-depositing calcium salts on and into anodic alumina. This paper investigated the anodic behavior of Al, deposition behavior of calcium salt, and microstructure of CAA. The results show that the anodic behavior of Al in Na3PO4 electrolyte can be described as three continuous stages as of initial growth of the compact barrier layer, formation of porous alumina and further development of its pores and columnar holes. It is also found that cell voltage of electro-deposition process plays an important role at the deposition behavior of calcium slat and the microstructure of Ca-containing anodic alumina (CAA). The higher the cell voltage is, the faster the deposition rate, and the more calcium being deposited at the surface of anodic alumina and into the columnar holes or at the walls of the holes of anodic alumina. It is expected that Ca-containing anodic alumina films are promising substrates for fabricating functional bio-coatings for prosthetic applications.
