Abstract

Herein, Sn nanoparticles supported on N-doped carbon (Sn/NC) were constructed by a g-C₃N₄ assisted strategy for the interface layer of Zn anodes in Zn-ion batteries. The presence of Sn/NC effectively regulates the zinc plating/stripping process, which makes Sn/NC@Zn outstanding in both symmetrical and full cells.
