Developing an electro-chemo-mechanically synergistic effect <i>via</i> the cholesteric cellulose crystalline interphase for highly stable flexible zinc metal batteries

A cholesteric nanocellulose (C-CNC) film balanced Zn 2+ transport and redox kinetics, and homogenized electric and ionic fields via electro-chemo-mechanical synergy, thereby enhancing the stability and reversibility of the Zn metal anode.
