报告摘要
Rechargeableaqueous zinc ion battery (AZIB) recently gained renewedinterests as a promising candidate for grid-scale high-safetyenergy storage. Revamping the electrochemistry and redesigning of theelectrolyte and interface have led to performance enhancement interms of voltage and stability. With water-based electrolyte,it is by no means a simple system. Research efforts are being put to nanostructureelectrode design, electrolyte regulation, dendrite suppression, tolow-temperature operation, etc. In this talk, I will first present a summary ofrecent advance in AZIB with a focus on Zn-MnO2 batteries. Ageneral classification of working mechanisms related to MnO2cathode will be elaborated, which may lead to commercializationof Zn-MnO2 flow batteries for large-scale static energy storage. Iwill also present a few examples of our own studies on both vanadium oxidecathode and organic cathode materials and the elucidation of the charge storagemechanism. Zn-ion hybrid capacitors with low discharge rates will also bepresented.
