“…The evolution of batteries can be traced back to the 1800s when physicist Alessandro Volta conceptualized the development of this technology. A battery is a device that is functional via electrochemical reactions in a cell or several cells connected in series [6,7]. The primary function of a battery is to store power via an electrochemical medium [8].…”

Metal–air batteries are a promising technology that could be used in several applications, from portable devices to large-scale energy storage applications. This work is a comprehensive review of the recent progress made in metal-air batteries MABs. It covers the theoretical considerations and mechanisms of MABs, electrochemical performance, and the progress made in the development of different structures of MABs. The operational concepts and recent developments in MABs are thoroughly discussed, with a particular focus on innovative materials design and cell structures. The classical research on traditional MABs was chosen and contrasted with metal–air flow systems, demonstrating the merits associated with the latter in terms of achieving higher energy density and efficiency, along with stability. Furthermore, the recent applications of MABs were discussed. Finally, a broad overview of challenges/opportunities and potential directions for commercializing this technology is carefully discussed. The primary focus of this investigation is to present a concise summary and to establish future directions in the development of MABs from traditional static to advanced flow technologies. A systematic analysis of this subject from a material and chemistry standpoint is presented as well.

“…MABs are composed of an air‐breathing cathode (which catches oxygen from the air), a metal anode (zinc, 15 lithium, 16 sodium, potassium, and more) and an electrolyte, which can be aqueous or nonaqueous. MABs can be assembled in several forms (solid‐state, 17 fiber‐type, 18 etc) to cover a wide range of applications. Despite the great advantages of MABs, such as their remarkable density (3‐30 times higher than lithium‐ion batteries [LIB]) or high level of safety, they face several disadvantages as their lack of scalability for industrial development, and the need of more suitable and enhanced materials compose them 18,19 .…”

Our modern and technological society requests enhanced energy storage devices to tackle the current necessities. In addition, wearable electronic devices are being demanding because they offer many facilities to the person wearing it. In this manuscript, a historical review is made about the available energy storage devices focusing on super-capacitors and lithium-ion batteries, since they currently are the most present in the industry, and the possible polymeric materials suitable on wearable energy storage devices. Polymers are a suitable option because they not only possess remarkable mechanical resistance, flexibility, long life-times, easy manufacturing techniques and low cost in addition to they can be environmentally friendly, nontoxic, and even biodegradable too. Moreover, the electrical and electrochemical polymer properties can be tunning with suitable fillers giving to versatile conducting polymer composites with a good cost and properties' ratio. Although the advances are promising, there are still many drawbacks that need to be overcome. Future research should focus on improving both the performance of materials and their processability on an industrial scale, where additive manufacturing offers many possibilities. The sustainability of new energy storage devices should not

“…The metal anode, as the only active component, plays a vital role in metal-air batteries. According to the invention date, these metals are zinc (Zn), aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), lithium (Li), sodium (Na), and potassium (K) [4]. Among them, Mg is considered as a potential anode material for metal-air batteries due to the high specific energy density (6.8 kW h kg −1 ), high theoretical specific capacity (2.2 A h g −1 ), a negative standard electrode potential (−2.37 V versus standard hydrogen electrode, SHE), and relatively low density (1.74 g cm −3 ) [5,6].…”

In this work, the self-corrosion and discharge performance of the as-cast Mg-xSn (x=1, 5, 9 wt.%) anodes for primary Mg-air batteries were studied through microstructure characterization, electrochemical testing and discharge experiments. With the increase of Sn content, the volume fraction of the Mg2Sn phase increases, promoting dendrite refining. According to the electrochemical test, the Mg-1Sn anode shows a higher open circuit potential, resulting in a stronger electrochemical activity. The polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectra show the corrosion resistance order as Mg-1Sn>Mg-5Sn>Mg-9Sn. In the discharge measurement, the Mg-1Sn anode achieves the best average discharge voltage, anode efficiency, specific capacity, and energy density under all current densities tested. At 10 mA cm-2, the energy density of Mg-1Sn is 1239.621 mWh g-1, which is higher than the Mg-5Sn anode and Mg-9Sn anode, 37% and 25%, respectively. The optimal discharge performance of the Mg-1Sn anode is mainly attributed to the high electrochemical activity and the micron-sized Mg2Sn phase dispersed in the matrix, which facilitates more uniform dissolution.
