Fig. 2

SEM images of (a) the com-Zn and (b) electrodeposited Zn(0002) metals with an magnified image of hexagonal Zn grains (inset). c Grain size distributions from statistical SEM measurements for the com-Zn and the electrodeposited Zn(0002) metals. 3D illustration, plane-view EBSD maps and corresponding (0002) pole figures of (d) the com-Zn and (e) electrodeposited Zn(0002) metals. Detailed crystallographic observation of the electrodeposited Zn(0002) metal: f Typical bright-field TEM image, g corresponding high-resolution TEM image, h FFT pattern and i 4D-STEM nanobeam diffraction pattern of f.
