Two types of degradation in both electrodes take place in zinc-air batteries: the morphological changes of the Zn anode (cycling) and the degradation of the cathode materials (charging). However, most attempts continue to be focused on commercialising secondary zinc-air batteries, targeting a range of applications.
Future perspectives are provided to guide systematic research contributions. Currently a hot research topic, rechargeable zinc-air batteries are considered one of the most promising post lithium-ion battery technologies for utility-scale energy storage, electric vehicles, and other consumer electronics.
In the present work, we have shed light on the rechargeability of zinc–air batteries by considering the interface between the zinc anode and the electrolyte. A particular focus is placed on the proper electrode balancing of the zinc anode in the interplay of high and low DoD.
Hence the thermal management system can be very minimal or eliminated in zinc–air batteries. Based on the practical zinc–air battery performance data from electric vehicles, the specific energy and specific power are found to be in the range of 140–200 Wh kg −1 and 20–60 W kg −1 respectively 54, 74.
Reproduced with permission from Zinc–air batteries (ZABs) have a higher theoretical energy density (1218 Wh kg −1) compared to LIBs, making them more energy-efficient in a form factor and thereby enabling in a lighter and cheaper design.
If a zinc–air battery is to be operated as an electrically rechargeable type, the balancing of the zinc anode is of paramount importance, whereby an excess of zinc, which can be understood as zinc metal uninvolved in the electrochemical reaction, has to be minimized under any circumstances.
Among these, Zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are especially prominent due to their attractive attributes. Fig. 1 illustrates the substantial energy capacities of ZABs showing their competitive advantage over other battery technologies .
