Schematic illustration of dendrite growth and corrosion at the interface of various zinc anodes.

Caption

Bare Zn suffers from both dendrite growth and corrosion in a; Zinc anode with zincophilic layer suppresses dendrite growth but still suffers from corrosion in b; Zinc anode with artificial SEI layer suppresses corrosion but still suffers from dendrite growth in c. Zinc anode with buried interface suppresses both dendrite growth and corrosion in d.
