The energy storage mechanism in zinc-ion batteries is mainly based on the intercalation and delamination of zinc ions between the lattices of vanadium-based oxides. During discharge, Zn 2+ are inserted into the cathode while Zn in the anode loses electrons to form Zn 2+, thus maintaining the charge balance of the electrolyte.
Zinc-ion batteries are touted as promising energy storage technology. The inherent safety and lower cost of zinc-ion batteries — compared to lithium-ion batteries — make them a potential solution. The uses of such batteries are said to be many.
Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have recently attracted attention due to their safety, environmental friendliness, and lower cost, compared to LIBs. They use aqueous electrolytes, which give them an advantage over multivalent ion batteries (e.g., Mg 2+, Ca 2+, Al 3+) that require more complex electrolytes.
In conclusion, the capacity of zinc-ion batteries may rapidly decay due to the dissolution of the positive and negative electrodes in the electrolyte. While severe zinc dendrite growth is not observed in zinc-ion batteries with neutral electrolytes at low current densities, the issue of dendrites cannot be overlooked at high current densities.
Zinc-based batteries are rechargeable, using zinc as the anode material. During discharge, zinc atoms oxidize, releasing zinc ions that travel through the electrolyte to the cathode, where they are reduced and incorporated into the cathode structure. Electrons released during oxidation generate electricity by flowing through an external circuit.
Finally, based on the above discussion, the next development of zinc-ion battery is prospected: Research and development of new cathode materials, focusing on cathode materials that provide both high voltage (>1.2 V) and large capacity (>400 mAh/g).
