Electrode and electrolyte additive synergy effect for improving the capacity and supporting a high voltage plateau of aqueous rechargeable zinc iodine batteries

Advancements in aqueous zinc–iodine batteries: a review

“…A high discharge capacity of 100 mA h g −1 was still retained for over 150 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g −1 . Han et al 50 developed activated porous corncob carbon (APCC) with high surface area, conductivity, and adsorption capacity as an effective iodine carrier. Additionally, employing ZnCl 2 electrolyte support, the battery achieved a higher voltage platform for the conversion reaction involving I − /I 0 /I + four electron transfer mechanism, which significantly differed from the conventional static zinc-iodine battery (I − /I 0 ).…”

Suppressing the Shuttle Effect of Aqueous Zinc–Iodine Batteries: Progress and Prospects

“…Moreover, in the long run, making full use of biomass resources is of great significance to the sustainable development of zinc-iodine batteries. Graded porous carbon materials derived from biomass prepared using ginkgo [55], corn cob [80], and lychee husk [81] as precursors have also been reported for zinc-iodine batteries. traditional carbon precursors, biomass has the advantages of high carbon content, a wide range of sources, rich variety, and low price and is renewable and thus considered an ideal precursor for the preparation of new carbon materials [77][78][79].…”
