Novel strategy proposed for all-climate zinc-ion batteries

"This work shows how effective these batteries are, both in terms of capacity and their ability to operate over a wide range of temperatures"

19-Jun-2024 - According to a study published in Advanced Energy Materials, a research team led by Prof. HU Linhua from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has constructed a hydrogel electrolyte formula by using ClO4- anions and polyacrylamide chains to anchor water ...

Scientists develop low-temperature resisting aqueous zinc-based batteries

03-Sep-2020 - Aqueous zinc-based batteries (ZBBs) are widely used for portable and grid-scale applications due to their high safety, low cost and high energy density. However, the inhomogeneous zinc deposition on anode during charging and the zinc dendrite formation decrease the cycling stability of ZBBs. ...
