New Electrolyte Additive Could Make Zinc Batteries Safer, Longer-Lasting and More Affordable
AZIBs are gaining attention as low-cost, environmentally friendly and safer energy storage solutions. However, their large-scale adoption has been limited by challenges such as zinc dendrite formation, corrosion, hydrogen evolution reactions and poor long-term cycling stability. These issues reduce battery efficiency, shorten lifespan and increase maintenance requirements.
