Abstract

A zincophilic PAN@Zn(OTF)_₂ (PZO) separator with an extremely thin thickness of 65.6 μm is introduced. This separator with a low cost of 6.1 $ m^-2, exhibiting excellent mechanical and wettability properties. The cell with the PZO separator exhibits impressive electrochemical performances both in symmetrical Zn||Zn cell and Zn||NVO full cell.
