Advancements in Sustainable Aqueous Zn-Ion Batteries via Exploring New Cathode and Anode Optimisation Strategies
摘要
The rapid increase of energy consumption, limited resources and long-lasting impact on the environment and human health dictates the necessity of the advancements in energy storage field. In this regard, aqueous zinc battery systems attract interest, especially in a grid application. The Prussian Blue analogue MnHCF has drawn the interest as potential cathode material. Using partial substitution of Mn with other transition metals gave some promising results regarding the improved stability of the system. The structural modification was followed by powder x-ray diffraction. Concurrently, the research has been conducted on the anode side, handling the dendrite formation and shortcutting issues of standard Zn-metal anode.
