“…Simonkolleite is unstable and can decompose to ZnO and ZnCl 2 or to ZnO + HCl + H 2 O (Zhang and Yanagisawa, 2007;Yoo et al, 2013;Moezzi et al, 2016). It is interesting to notice that simonkolleite disks appear with the combination of lower alkalinity, lower temperature, and higher NH 4 + ions concentration and in existence of Cl − anion (Li et al, 2011;Cousy et al, 2017). Second, when the battery starts to cycle at high C rate (20 C), Zn dendrites are formed on anode by applying a negative current.…”
