High-Performance Aqueous Calcium Ion Batteries Enabled by Zn Metal Anodes with Stable Ion-Conducting Interphases

Aqueous calcium ion batteries, promising for energy storage, are still challenged by very limited anode choices. Although a Zn metal anode is popular in aqueous batteries, interface instability due to incessant corrosion and severe Zn dendrites hinders its development. Here, an interphase layer with densely packed nanocrystals of Ca
