Zinc ion battery

A zinc ion battery or Zn-ion battery (abbreviated as ZIB) uses zinc ions (Zn2+) as the charge carriers.[1] Specifically, ZIBs utilize Zn as the anode, Zn-intercalating materials as the cathode, and a Zn-containing electrolyte.

History

In 2011, Feiyu Kang's group showcased for the first time the reversible Zn-ion insertion into the tunnel structure of alpha-type manganese dioxide (MnO2) host used as the cathode in a ZIB.[2][3] Until now, several cathode materials have been explored for ZIB, for example gamma-, delta-type MnO2, and copper hexacyanoferrate.[4][5][6] In 2017, researchers announced another prototype zinc-ion battery that has high reversibility, rate, and capacity without dendrite formation. The device used a zinc metal anode, a vanadium oxide cathode and an aqueous electrolyte, all non-toxic materials. After 1,000 cycles it retained 80% of its capacity. Manufacture does not require ultra-low humidity. More specifically the cathode is made of a vanadium oxide bronze pillared by interlayer Zn2+ ions and water (Zn0.25V2O5⋅nH2O). The zinc ions intercalate at the anode under charge with a capacity up to 300  mAh g−1. The cell achieved an energy density of ∼450  Wh l−1.[7]

The University of Waterloo in Canada owns patent rights to zinc-ion battery technology developed in its laboratories. ref> https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2018/ee/c8ee00378e#!divAbstract </ref> [8]

The Canadian company Salient Energy is commercialising the zinc-ion battery technology. [9]
