Abstract:Zinc-nickel batteries are the ideal alternative to lithium-ion batteries because of their low cost, safety, and high energy density. However, the disreputable problems, such as zinc dendrites and poor electrical conductivity, have seriously hindered its further development. Herein, ZnO@NC/CNT is prepared via a three-step method of the hydrothermal-calcination-water bath. It has the inhibition ability of electrochemical polarization due to the highly conductive carbon nanotube backbone forming an internal condu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
