Abstract

Summary Zn-Sn interdigitated eutectic alloy (IdEA) foils are highly promising anodes for lithium-ion batteries. Synthesized via severe plastic deformation, a two-phase alloy is converted into a nanostructured foil composed of tin domains distributed throughout an electrically conductive zinc matrix. In addition to providing mechanical integrity, uncycled capacity in the zinc matrix eliminates the lithium-plating risk. These monolithic foil anodes offer an electrode-level volumetric capacity approximately double that of graphite (797 mA h cm−3), with a highly promising formation loss of
