A review on zinc electrodes in alkaline electrolyte: Current challenges and optimization strategies

Synchrotron X‐ray Characterization Techniques for the Development of Aqueous Zinc Ion Batteries

“…[10][11][12][13] Thanks to the natural abundance and low cost of zinc, AZIBs offer promising prospects for a variety of applications, particularly large-scale energy storage systems. [14][15] Importantly, as a derivative battery system of lithium-ion batteries, AZIBs will advance more quickly. [16][17][18][19] Currently, there are many critical challenges and deficiencies in AZIBs, thus further research is needed for its improvement.…”

“…Given that there have been several related reviews on the progress and challenges of AZIBs, [3,10,[14][15][20][21][22] this review will focus on the synchrotron radiation (SR)-based X-ray characterization methodologies, devices, and their promising applications in the development of AZIBs. Firstly, we will briefly discuss some recent achievement and critical challenges in AZIBs.…”

Nanocarbon armor reinforced Ag particles to build a high-rate and long-lifespan aqueous Zn2+/Cl− dual-ion battery

“…7–13 As one class of AZIBs, alkaline Zn–Ag batteries have been successfully commercialized as primary batteries because of their exceptional energy density. 14–16 However, when used as secondary batteries, some serious problems occur and impede their commercialization. One of them is the dissolution of Ag into alkaline electrolytes.…”
