Zinc-based batteries, particularly zinc-hybrid flow batteries, are gaining traction for energy storage in the renewable energy sector. For instance, zinc-bromine batteries have been extensively used for power quality control, renewable energy coupling, and electric vehicles. These batteries have been scaled up from kilowatt to megawatt capacities.
Zinc-based batteries face several challenges, including limited cycle life, rate capability, and scalability. For instance, aqueous electrolytes can cause dendrite formation—needle-like zinc structures that accumulate on the anode during cycling—damaging the battery and reducing its rate capability and lifespan.
Lithium-ion batteries have long been the standard for energy storage. However, zinc-based batteries are emerging as a more sustainable, cost-effective, and high-performance alternative. 1,2 This article explores recent advances, challenges, and future directions for zinc-based batteries.
Zinc is an excellent choice not only because of its high theoretical energy density and low redox potential, but also because it can be used in aqueous electrolytes, giving zinc-based battery technologies inherent advantages over lithium-ion batteries in terms of operational safety.
Zinc-ion batteries typically use safer, more environmentally friendly aqueous electrolytes than lithium-ion batteries, which use flammable organic electrolytes. Significant progress has been made in enhancing the energy density, efficiency, and overall performance of zinc-based batteries.
Together with carbon nanohorns as an active 2e − catalyst on the cathode side, the rechargeability of this new concept reaches up to 92%. Zinc-based batteries are considered to be a highly promising energy storage technology of the next generation.
