Additive Manufacturing of Grid Reservoir‐Integrated Anodes for Dendrite‐Free, Safe, and Ultra‐Low Voltage Zinc‐Ion Batteries

This work reports a novel 3D printed grid reservoir-integrated mesoporous carbon coordinated silicon oxycarbide hybrid composite (3DP-MPC-SiOC) to establish the zincophile interphase for controlling the dendrite formation. The customized 3D printed grid patterned structure inhibits Zn dendrite growth and achieves long-term stability with reduced voltage polarization due to homogeneous electric field distribution. The hybrid composite consisting of SiOC interpenetrated within carbon constructs a high zinc nucleation interphase, hence promoting uniform Zn
