Article Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are promising options for large-scale electrical energy storage because of their safety, affordability, and environmental friendliness. As an indispensable component of AZIBs, a current collector plays a crucial role in supporting electrode materials and collecting the accumulated electrical energy. Recently, some progress has been made in the study of current collectors for AZIBs; however, only few comprehensive reviews on this topic are available. In this review, the systematic summary and discussion of research progress on current collectors for AZIBs is presented. Furthermore, the main challenges and key prospects for the future development of current collectors for AZIBs are discussed.

Anode-free sulfide-based all-solid-state lithium metal batteries (ASSLMBs), which eliminate the need for a lithium metal anode during fabrication, offer superior energy density, enhanced safety, and simplified manufacturing. Their performance is largely influenced by the interfacial properties of the current collectors. Although previous studies have investigated the degradation of sulfide electrolytes on commonly used copper (Cu) and stainless steel (SS) current collectors, the impact of spontaneously formed surface oxides, such as copper oxide (CuO/CuO) and chromium oxide (CrO), on interfacial stability remains underexplored.

Understanding the electrochemical extraction and deposition of lithium (Li) from cathode is crucial for advancing anode-free solid-state batteries (AFSSBs). Herein, cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) and electrochemical studies are employed to investigate how current collector surface properties, current densities, and cathode loadings influence the morphology of fresh electrochemically deposited Li and the electrochemical performance in sulfide-based AFSSBs. Cryo-TEM reveals that Cu current collectors induce irregular, dendritic Li deposits due to their lithiophobic nature and reactivity with LiPSCl (LPSC), while Ni and Au facilitate more uniform, planar-like Li growth.

Supercapacitors serve as an important complement to batteries in sustainable energy storage and utilization systems, necessitating the efficient preparation of high-performance electrodes for practical applications. Here, we present a scalable one-step strategy for fabricating integrated graphene/polyaniline electrodes directly on current collectors, enabled by the dual functionality of HSO in a rapid 20 min process. Initially, dilute HSO acts as a protonation medium to facilitate the oxidative polymerization of aniline by ammonium persulfate.

Potassium metal batteries are considered as promising candidates for next-generation energy storage systems. However, their practical development is hindered by the insufficient capacity output and persistent dendritic proliferation at the anode side. Here graphene-skinned hexagonal boron nitride powder is demonstrated synthesized via fluidized bed-chemical vapor deposition, realizing conformal growth of layer-controlled graphene (5-90 layers) over h-BN with atomically coupled heterointerfaces.

Recent advancements in implantable bioelectronic devices have increased the demand for biocompatible energy sources with long-term electrochemical and mechanical stability. Here, we present a tough hydrogel-based supercapacitor (THBS) fiber, fabricated via a thermal drawing process (TDP), that enables the integration of all components-electrodes, electrolyte, current collectors, and encapsulation-into a single, unified, and mechanically robust fiber-shaped architecture. Through thermal/mechanical optimization and the incorporation of self-healing properties, THBS fibers exhibit durable, high electrochemical performance under dynamic, high-curvature deformations mimicking in vivo physiological motions.
