Zinc ion Batteries: Bridging the Gap from Academia to Industry for Grid‐Scale Energy Storage

Angewandte Chemie (2024)

Sailin Liu Ruizhi Zhang Cheng Wang Jianfeng Mao Dongliang Chao

Abstract Zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) exhibit significant promise in the next generation of grid‐scale energy storage systems owing to their safety, relatively high volumetric energy density, and low production cost. Despite substantial advancements in ZIBs, a comprehensive evaluation of critical parameters impacting their practical energy density ( E practical ) and calendar life is lacking. Hence, we suggest using formulation‐based study as a scientific tool to accurately calculate the cell‐level energy density and predict the cycling life of ZIBs. By combining all key battery parameters, such as the capacity ratio of negative to positive electrode (N/P), into one formula, we assess their impact on E practical . When all parameters are optimized, we urge to achieve the theoretical capacity for a high E practical . Furthermore, we propose a formulation that correlates the N/P and Coulombic efficiency of ZIBs for predicting their calendar life. Finally, we offer a comprehensive overview of current advancements in ZIBs, covering cathode and anode, along with practical evaluations. This Minireview outlines specific goals, suggests future research directions, and sketches prospects for designing efficient and high‐performing ZIBs. It aims at bridging the gap from academia to industry for grid‐scale energy storage.

Developing Cathode Materials for Aqueous Zinc Ion Batteries: Challenges and Practical Prospects

Advanced Functional Materials (2023)

Guanjie Li Liang Sun Shilin Zhang Chaofeng Zhang Huanyu Jin

Abstract Growth in intermittent renewable sources including solar and wind has sparked increasing interest in electrical energy storage. Grid‐scale energy storage integrated with renewable sources has significant advantages in energy regulation and grid security. Aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) have emerged as a practically attractive option for electrical storage because of environmentally benign aqueous‐based electrolytes, high theoretical capacity of Zn anode, and significant global reserves of Zn. However, application of AZIBs at the grid‐scale is restricted by drawbacks in cathode material(s). Herein, a comprehensive summary of the features and storage mechanisms of the latest cathode materials is provided. The fundamental problems and corresponding in‐depth causes for cathode materials is critically reviewed. It is also assess practical challenges, appraise their translation to commerce and industry, and systematically summarize and discuss the potential solutions reported in recent works. It is established necessary design strategies for Zn anodes and electrolytes that are matched with cathode materials for commercializing AZIBs. Finally, it is concluded with a perspective on the practical prospects for advancing the development of future AZIBs. Findings will be of interest and benefit to a range of researchers and manufacturers in the design and application of AZIBs for grid‐scale energy storage.

An Aqueous Electrolyte Regulator for Highly Stable Zinc Anode Under −35 to 65 °C

Advanced Energy Materials (2023)

Rui Wang Quanwei Ma Longhai Zhang Zixiang Liu Jiandong Wan

Abstract The reversibility and long‐term cycling stability of aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) in a wide temperature range have rarely been explored. Herein, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether (DG) is introduced as an electrolyte additive to enhance Zn performance within a wide temperature range of −35 to 65 °C. Operando synchrotron Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis combined with molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the introduction of DG disrupts the initial hydrogen bonding network of the aqueous electrolyte, restructuring the solvation structure surrounding Zn 2+ ions and mitigating water‐induced parasitic reactions. Adding DG reduces the freezing point of the aqueous electrolyte without compromising its incombustibility. Moreover, operando electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (EQCM‐D) and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy demonstrated that the coordinated DG and OTF − undergo reductive decomposition, forming a self‐healing solid electrolyte interphase comprising an inorganic/organic ZnF 2 ‐ZnS, which can effectively suppress the notorious side reactions and guide the uniform Zn deposition. Consequently, the symmetric Zn/Zn cells demonstrate excellent cycling stability for 3500 h under 1 mA cm −2 at 25 °C, and for 1000 h under 1 mA cm −2 at both −35 and 65 °C. Full batteries with a DG‐containing electrolyte exhibit a long lifespan of 5000 cycles at 2 A g −1 .

Rational Design of Multinary Metal Chalcogenide Bi_0.4Sb_1.6Te₃ Nanocrystals for Efficient Potassium Storage

Advanced Materials (2024)

Longhai Zhang Jiatu Liu Yunming Zhai Shilin Zhang Wei Wang

Abstract Multinary metal chalcogenides hold considerable promise for high‐energy potassium storage due to their numerous redox reactions. However, challenges arise from issues such as volume expansion and sluggish kinetics. Here, a design featuring a layered ternary Bi 0.4 Sb 1.6 Te 3 anchored on graphene layers as a composite anode, where Bi atoms act as a lattice softening agent on Sb, is presented. Benefiting from the lattice arrangement in Bi 0.4 Sb 1.6 Te 3 and structure, Bi 0.4 Sb 1.6 Te 3 /graphene exhibits a mitigated expansion of 28% during the potassiation/depotassiation process and demonstrates facile K + ion transfer kinetics, enabling long‐term durability of 500 cycles at various high rates. Operando synchrotron diffraction patterns and spectroscopies including in situ Raman, ex situ adsorption, and X‐ray photoelectron reveal multiple conversion and alloying/dealloying reactions for potassium storage at the atomic level. In addition, both theoretical calculations and electrochemical examinations elucidate the K + migration pathways and indicate a reduction in energy barriers within Bi 0.4 Sb 1.6 Te 3 /graphene, thereby suggesting enhanced diffusion kinetics for K + . These findings provide insight in the design of durable high‐energy multinary tellurides for potassium storage.

Facile Synthesis of Carbon-Coated Porous Sb₂Te₃ Nanoplates with High Alkali Metal Ion Storage

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces (2019)

Wudi Zhang Qianyu Zhang Qiufan Shi Sen Xin Jiang Wu

Constructing advanced anode materials with suitable operational potential and high energy density toward metal ion batteries is of significance for next-generation batteries. Carbon-coated porous Sb2Te3 nanoplates with high density and suitable operational potential, prepared by a hydrothermal and carbonization technique, manifest good electrochemical performance, including excellent rate capability, high capacities, and outstanding cycling performance. This performance can be traced to its special structure, including porous Sb2Te3 and the shell of carbon, which can provide fast charge transfer paths and maintain the structural stability for the entire material. The proposed strategy here of embedding porous high-density anode material in two-dimensional carbon provides a new avenue for designing anode materials with excellent gravimetric and volumetric capacities toward superior energy storage.

Chaos Control in a Discrete Ecological System

International Journal of Modern Nonlinear Theory and Application (2012)

Limin Zhang Chaofeng Zhang

In research [1], the authors investigate the dynamic behaviors of a discrete ecological system. The period-double bifurcations and chaos are found in the system. But no strategy is proposed to control the chaos. It is well known that chaos control is the first step of utilizing chaos. In this paper, a controller is designed to stabilize the chaotic orbits and enable them to be an ideal target one. After that, numerical simulations are presented to show the correctness of theoretical analysis.
