Exploring Aqueous Zinc-Based Batteries: From Active Materials to Future Applications

Аннотация

Aqueous zinc-based batteries (AZBs) have gained significant attention as a promising alternative to conventional lithium-ion batteries due to their advantages of safety, low cost, and environmentally friendly operation. These batteries utilize aqueous electrolytes, making them inherently safer and easier to manufacture. However, challenges remain in improving their electrochemical performance, including issues related to dendrite growth, limited energy density, and cycle life. This review article provides an overview of the active materials used in AZBs, highlighting recent advancements in cathode and anode materials. We also discuss key aspects of device design, including electrolyte optimization, separator development, and system integration. Finally, the paper explores future directions for the development of AZBs, including strategies to enhance performance, improve cycle stability, and scale up production for commercial applications.
