Abstract

Electrodeposited ZnO coatings suffer severe capacity fading when used as conversion anodes in sealed Li cells. Capacity fading is attributed to (i) the large charge transfer resistance, Rct (300-700 Ω) and (ii) the low Li+ ion diffusion coefficient, D+Li (10-15 to 10-13 cm2 s-1). The measured value of Rct is nearly 10 times higher and D+Li 10-100 times lower than the corresponding values for Cu2O, which delivers a stable reversible capacity.
