Improving Aqueous Zinc Ion Batteries with Alkali Metal Ions

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces
Aqueous zinc (Zn) ion batteries have received broad attention recently. However, their practical application is limited by severe Zn dendrite growth and the hydrogen evolution reaction. In this study, three alkali metal ions (Li+, Na+, and K+) are added in ZnSO4 electrolytes, which are subjected to electrochemical measurements and molecular dynamics ...

Overlooked calendar issues of aqueous zinc metal batteries

Joule
Although the zinc metal plating and stripping chemistry offers a high specific capacity, this process suffers from poor reversibility, a crucial factor for long-term energy storage. Most studies so far have been focusing on cyclic aging but overlooked the impact of calendar aging on zinc metal behavior.

Organic Cations Texture Zinc Metal Anodes for Deep Cycling Aqueous Zinc Batteries

Advanced Materials
AbstractManipulating the crystallographic orientation of zinc (Zn) metal to expose more (002) planes is promising to stabilize Zn anodes in aqueous electrolytes. However, there remain challenges involving the non‐epitaxial electrodeposition of highly (002) textured Zn metal and the maintenance of (002) texture under deep cycling conditions.
