Zinc metal, featuring high theoretical capacity, low electrochemical potential and natural abundance, is an exciting anode material for aqueous energy storage devices. Unfortunately, dendrite growth of the zinc anode hinders its application. Herein, we demonstrate that the zinc-modified zeolites pre...
