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 ...
