Pleased to share our recent work on Zn-ion batteries accepted in
J. Mater. Chem. A. We show the impact of propylene carbonate addition to suppress water-derived parasitic reactions occurring at both the Zn anode and the V2O5 cathode.
Two for One: Propylene Carbonate Co-solvent for High Performance Aqueous Zinc-ion Batteries Remedies Persistent Issues at Both Electrodes Aqueous rechargeable zinc-ion batteries are attractive for large-scale energy storage applications. However, challenges such as dendritic growth of zinc, structural degradation and dissolution of oxide cathodes and poor Coulombic efficiencies (CEs) limit their scope. While organic co-solvents and ad...
