Abstract:Rechargeable Zn-MnO2 alkaline batteries have been identified as a viable option for the modernization of grid scale energy storage due to their projected cost (<$100/kWh), scalability, and safer components when compared to non-aqueous alternatives.1 For this system to reach its maximum capability, the full Mn4+/2+ redox couple must be reversible over thousands of cycles with high mass loading. This was successfully demonstrated with the incorporation of various electrode constituents which alter the fundame… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
