Figure Lengend Snippet: ECS performance: ( a ) Galvanostatic Zn plating/stripping cycling performance of bare Zn and Zn@ZnS_ x _55 symmetric cells at 2.0 mA cm −2 and 2.0 mAh cm −2 , ( b ) CE versus cycle numbers of bare Zn | |Ti and Zn@ZnS_ x _55 | |Ti cells at 8 mA cm −2 and 1 mAh cm −2 , and ( c ) corresponding charging/discharging cycle numbers at various current densities. Electrochemical kinetics: ( d ) impedance spectroscopy of symmetric cells, ( e ) reaction activation energy, and ( f ) Zn 2+ conductivity. Error bars in ( f ) represent the mean ± SD, each obtained from four individual tests. Mechanical strength: ( g ) nanoindentation hardness at varying strain rates, ( h , i ) creep displacement measured at varying maximum loads and loading rates, ( j ) elastic modulus anisotropy of the sphalerite-phase ZnS, ( k ) elastic modulus measured by nanoindentation, and ( l ) Schmid factor of ZnS (111), (220) and (311) orientations. Data in ( g – i ) and ( k ) are presented as mean ± SD of at least nine individual nanoindentation tests. Checking Fig. S4 for more detailed indentation data.
