Abstract:

Aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs) are regarded as the promising candidates for low-cost, sustainable, but safe energy storage systems. Unfortunately, Zn metal anodes suffer from incomplete desolvation and random dendrite formation, which is attributed to sluggish diffusion kinetics resulted from the strong ion (Zn²⁺)-dipole (H₂O) interactions. Herein, to promote the Zn²⁺ desolvation and diffusion kinetics, the strategy of constructing perovskite-type ion-conductive kinetic modulators of ZnSn(OH)₆ is initially designed and coated on the Zn metal anode (PIC-ZSH@Zn), regulating ion behaviors against dendrite growth and side reactions of active water. As confirmed by theoretical simulations, COMSOL, time-of-flight second-ionic mass spectroscopy, Raman and various electrochemical analyses, the abundant active sites synergistically weaken Zn²⁺-H₂O interactions to accelerate desolvation to release free Zn²⁺, effectively homogenizing the Zn²⁺ flux distribution to preferentially nucleate and plate metallic Zn. Consequently, the as-fabricated cell maintains reversible stability of 800 h at 10 mA cm^-2 with high Coulombic efficiency over 99% under low temperature of 0°C. The paired full cell with PIC-ZSH@Zn presents a high-capacity retention of nearly 80% after 1000 cycles at 1.0 A g^-1 at 0°C, reinforcing the operation robustness of AZMBs under low temperature environments.

Kinetic Molecular Theory: Molecular Velocities, Temperature, and Kinetic Energy

The kinetic molecular theory qualitatively explains the behaviors described by the various gas laws. The postulates of this theory may be applied in a more quantitative fashion to derive these individual laws.

Theory of Metallic Conduction

Theory of Metallic Conduction

The conduction of free electrons inside a conductor is best described by quantum mechanics. However, a classical model makes predictions close to the results of quantum mechanics. It is called the theory of metallic conduction.
In this theory, Newton's second law of motion is used to determine the acceleration of an electron in the presence of an applied electric field. Then, its velocity is expressed via this acceleration.
An electron moves through the crystal, containing positive ions,...

Batteries and Fuel Cells

Batteries and Fuel Cells

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...

Types of Kinetic Energy

Types of Kinetic Energy

The amount of kinetic energy of an object depends on its mass and speed. Consider two balls of different masses rolling down an inclined plane at the same speed. The heavier ball will have more kinetic energy. Similarly, when two balls of the same mass roll down an inclined plane at different speeds, the ball that moves faster has more kinetic energy.
There are several different forms of kinetic energy, including mechanical, electrical, radiant, and thermal energy. Mechanical energy is...

Bonding in Metals

Bonding in Metals

Metallic bonds are formed between two metal atoms. A simplified model to describe metallic bonding has been developed by Paul Drüde called the “Electron Sea Model”.

Alkali Metals

Alkali Metals

Group 1 elements are soft and shiny metallic solids. They are malleable, ductile, and good conductors of heat and electricity. The melting points of the alkali metals are unusually low for metals and decrease going down the group, while the density increases going down the group with the exception of potassium (Table 1).
