Zinc ion large-scale energy storage

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are attractive for large-scale energy storage due to their intrinsic safety, low cost, and environmental compatibility..

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are attractive for large-scale energy storage due to their intrinsic safety, low cost, and environmental compatibility. However, the high charge-to-radius (q/r) ratio of Zn2+ leads to strong solvation and sluggish solid-state diffusion, which hinder efficient. . Layered transition metal tellurides (TMT) show potential for development into high-performance cathode materials for aqueous zinc ion batteries, yet their holistic performance metrics (e.g., specific capacity, rate capability, stability) remain substantially distant from practical utilization.
