A bifunctional CNG membrane was constructed to achieve dendrite-free and corrosion-free Zn anodes by desolvation and deanionization effects. CNG/Zn anodes could have an ultra-long lifespan of ∼5500 h and a high CE (99.4%).

Ultra-long-life and highly reversible Zn metal anodes enabled by a desolvation and deanionization interface layer
