Metallic Zn is considered as an ideal anode while its widespread use in rechargeable aqueous batteries still faces many challenges, mostly associated with the dendritic growth and corrosion of side reactions. In this work, we demonstrate that a TiN protective coating layer preferential (200) orientation can effectively suppress both reactions; more interestingly, it regulate pattern byproduct (...

The characterisation and classification of particle form are typically based on the consideration main dimensions, for derivation which no method has been unanimously accepted or proven to be representative its morphology load-bearing capabilities. This study proposes a weighted fabric tensor, named “surface orientation tensor”, that characterises an individual particle. Using eigenvalues this ...
