Highlights Zn x Cu y alloy shell was in-situ formed on self-supported three-dimensional nanoporous Zn anode by anionic surfactant-assisted surface alloying of Zn and Cu. The self-supported nanoporous Zn x Cu y /Zn anodes exhibit high-rate capability, outstanding reversibility and stability during Zn...
