a The CA curves of pure Zn and SEI Zn electrodes. b Nucleation overpotential of Pure Zn and SEI Zn electrodes at 10 mA cm−2. c CV curves of SEI Zn | | SEI Cu and Pure Zn | | Pure Cu asymmetric cells. In situ optical observation of the (d) SEI Zn and e pure Zn electrode during the Zn deposition process at the current density of 20 mA cm−2. Ex situ 2D XRD analysis of the (f) SEI Zn and g Pure Zn electrode after different cycles. h The crystal structure of metallic Zn and i corresponding ratio change of I(002)/I(101).
