On comparing the reactivity of silver and lead, it is observed that the two ionic species, Ag+ (aq) and Pb2+ (aq), show a difference in their redox reactivity towards copper: the silver ion undergoes spontaneous reduction, while the lead ion does not. This relative redox activity can be easily quantified in electrochemical cells by a property called cell potential. This property is commonly known as cell voltage in electrochemistry, and it is a measure of the energy which accompanies the charge...

A battery is a galvanic cell that is used as a source of electrical power for specific applications. Modern batteries exist in a multitude of forms to accommodate various applications, from tiny button batteries such as those that power wristwatches to the very large batteries used to supply backup energy to municipal power grids. Some batteries are designed for single-use applications and cannot be recharged (primary cells), while others are based on conveniently reversible cell reactions that...

Electrodeposition

663
Electrodeposition is a technique used to separate an analyte from interferents by electrochemical processes. Here, the analyte is a metal ion that can be deposited on an electrode immersed in the sample solution. The electrochemical setup consists of an anode and a cathode. When an electric current is applied to the setup, oxidation occurs at the anode. At the cathode, which consists of a large metal surface, metal ions undergo reduction and deposit onto the surface.

  • Electrochemistry
  • Energy Storage

Background:

  • Aqueous rechargeable zinc-ion batteries (ARZIBs) offer high safety and low cost but are limited by inefficient zinc anodes.
  • Undesirable reactions like zinc dendrite formation and byproduct generation at the anode/electrolyte interface cause low Coulombic efficiency and rapid capacity decay.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of optimization strategies for stabilizing the zinc anode-electrolyte interface in ARZIBs.
  • To systematically summarize and classify various approaches and their underlying mechanisms for improving zinc anode performance.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and systematic classification of optimization strategies for zinc anodes in ARZIBs.
  • Analysis of representative studies to illustrate the effectiveness and mechanisms of different interface stabilization techniques.

Main Results:

  • Identified key challenges in zinc anode chemistry and interface instability.
  • Detailed presentation of diverse strategies, including protective layers and electrolyte additives, to mitigate dendrite growth and side reactions.
  • Illustrated how these strategies enhance Coulombic efficiency and cycling stability.

Conclusions:

  • Stabilizing the zinc anode-electrolyte interface is crucial for the commercialization of ARZIBs.
  • A systematic understanding of optimization strategies and mechanisms is necessary for future development.
  • Future research should focus on accurate interface evaluation and novel strategies to further advance ARZIB technology.
