Regulating zinc deposition behaviors by functional cotton textiles as separators for aqueous zinc-metal batteries

Improved Strategies for Separators in Zinc‐Ion Batteries

“…Xu et al proposed a monolayer reconstituted montmorillonite matrix membrane (RMM), featuring nanofluidic channels, to homogenize the Zn 2 + distribution, impede the development of Zn dendrites, and impede the production of irreversible products. [62] RMMÀ Zn anode Zn/MnO 2 battery have been found to be able to sustain Zn electroplating/electrostripping for 1000 h at a current density of 4.4 mA cm À 2 without the formation of Zn dendrites. Furthermore, the RMMÀ Zn anode based Zn/MnO 2 battery demonstrate remarkable durability and capacity retention of 92.6 % even after 900 cycles at 5 C. Fu et al prepared bamboo cellulose membranes (BCM) with natural nanoscale pores by using self-assembled cellulose nanosheets, which can be employed as separators for ZIBs.…”

A Lean‐Zinc and Zincophilic Anode for Highly Reversible Zinc Metal Batteries

“…Aqueous zinc metal batteries (ZMBs) represent a group of sustainable and promising energy storage devices, primarily owing to their high theoretical energy density, high safety, low electrochemical redox potential, and low manufacturing cost. [ 1–3 ] Currently, heavy zinc metal (Zn 0 ) foils with excess zinc sources are usually used as the anode of ZMBs, which leads to a large negative/positive (N/P) ratio and compromises the practical energy density of as‐constructed full cells. To minimize N/P ratios and maximize the cell's energy density, anode‐free full‐cell configurations have been proposed.…”

Efficient emission in copper-doped Cs3ZnX5 (X = Cl, I) for white LEDs and X-ray scintillators

“…[16][17][18] Recently, some studies have suggested that Zn-based compounds are perhaps also a new class of lead-free materials with excellent optoelectronic properties. The inorganic Zn halides have several phases of CsZnCl 3 , 19 KZnF 3 , 20 NaZnF 3 , 21 Cs 2 ZnCl 4 , 22 Cs 2 ZnBr 4 , 23 Cs 3 ZnCl 5 , 16 and Cs 3 ZnBr 5 . 24 With suitable extrinsic ion doping, efficient emissions could be induced.…”
