The practical application of Zn-metal anodes (ZMAs) is mainly impeded by the limited lifespan and low Coulombic efficiency (CE) resulting from the Zn dendrite growth and side reactions. Herein, a 3D multifunctional host consisting of N-doped carbon fibers embedded with Cu nanoboxes (denoted as Cu NB...
