Gradient Structured Separator Enables Stable Aqueous Zinc Metal Batteries

Nano Letters
Developing a functional separator is an important strategy to improve the electrochemical performance of the Zn anode by suppressing the Zn dendrite growth and parasitic side reactions, thus advancing the aqueous zinc-ion batteries. Herein, we experimentally realize functional separator with gradient-structure based on CeF3 nanoparticles functionalized

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 ...

Design Strategies toward High‐Utilization Zinc Anodes for Practical Zinc‐Metal Batteries

Chemistry – A European Journal
AbstractAqueous Zn‐metal batteries (AZMBs) hold a promise as the next‐generation energy storage devices due to their low cost and high specific energy. However, the actual energy density falls far below the requirements of commercial AZMBs due to the use of excessive Zn as anode and the associated issues including dendritic growth and side reactions ...

Microstructure studies of zinc electrodeposits in zinc metal batteries

Rechargeable zinc batteries offer a safe and inexpensive alternative to lithium-ion batteries. However, their efficiency and lifespan are limited by hydrogen evolution and rough zinc deposition during the charging process. Yet there is a lack of fundamental understanding regarding the development of rough zinc morphologies and their impacts on hydrogen

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.

Advanced PEI/PAN Membrane to Suppress Zinc Dendrite Growth in Zinc Metal Batteries

Chemistry – An Asian Journal
AbstractAqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) are a potential new technology in energy storage due to their high energy density, affordability, and environmental friendliness. The development of AZIBs is still hampered by unchecked zinc dendrite formation during cycling, which results in an unstable interface, a short cycling life, and a considerable ...
