Single‐Crystalline Zn(002) Facet Enables Ultrastable Anode–Electrolyte Interface by Tao Shen, Tingting Wei, Shuxian Zhang, Heng Liu, Changyuan Li, Zhaoqian Li, Menghao Yang, Chaofeng Liu, Yanzhong Pei

“…In contrast to several existing works on (002) texturization, single‐crystalline Zn successfully grown using a Bridgman method in this work offers a fundamental understanding on this issue. The perfect atomic arrangement of the low‐surface‐energy (002) cleavage planes, without any grain boundaries, not only kinetically enables an epitaxial deposition inhibiting dendrite formation but also thermodynamically endows the most stable state restraining the side reactions. …”

Influence of microstructure and crystallographic texture on hydrogen diffusion in IF-steel by Başkaya Ü., Uzun R., Davut K., Kiliç Y., Gündüz O.

“…The results of this analysis show that hydrogen diffusion is more sensitive to dislocation density, suggesting that dislocations are more effective trapping sites for hydrogen atoms. On the other hand, grain boundaries are less effective trapping sites since they also provide an additional diffusion mechanism.…”
