The development of zinc-air batteries has received more attention due to the abundance of zinc and the splendid battery voltage (1.66 V) and superior .theoretical energy density (1086 Wh kg −1), compared to other metal-air batteries [96–98].
As a battery system, currently zinc–air technology is clearly at a disadvantage compared to the state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery standard due to its lower power output. However, the zinc–air battery is convincing in terms of active material balancing since the oxygen electrode is inexhaustible. [ 17]
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.
Zinc–air batteries have higher energy density than many other types of battery because atmospheric air is one of the battery reactants, in contrast to battery types that require a material such as manganese dioxide in combination with zinc. Energy density, when measured by weight (mass) is known as specific energy.
In this realm, zinc–air batteries can be considered a very promising candidate to expand the existing portfolio of lithium-based rechargeable battery systems due to their high theoretical energy density of 1086 Wh kg −1.
A novel zinc-air flow battery is first designed for long-duration energy storage. A max power density of 178 mW cm −2 is achieved by decoupling the electrolyte. Fast charging is realized by introducing KI in the electrolyte as a reaction modifier. Zinc dendrite and cathode degradation can be alleviated at lower charging voltage.
The resulting primary Zn-air battery showed high discharge peak power density ~265 mW cm−2, current density ~200 mA cm−2 at 1 V and energy density >700 Wh kg−1. ...
