An effective and accessible cell configuration for testing rechargeable zinc-based alkaline batteries

Sulfone-based electrolytes for aluminium rechargeable batteries.

Electrolyte is a key material for success in the research and development of next-generation rechargeable batteries. Aluminium rechargeable batteries that use aluminium (Al) metals as anode materials are attractive candidates for next-generation batteries, though they have not been developed yet due to the lack of practically useful electrolytes. Here we present, for the first time, non-corrosi...

Rechargeable Batteries

Purpose: The goal of our battery research is to produce an all solid-state, high performance rechargeable cell. Moving to a liquid-free polymer electrolyte eliminates the need for heavy casing material, thus the energy density is increased significantly. In addition, the absence of solvent additives leads to better thermal and chemical stability, broadening the range of applications for which t...

High-performance non-spinel cobalt–manganese mixed oxide-based bifunctional electrocatalysts for rechargeable zinc–air batteries

0.1016/j.nanoen.2 lsevier Ltd. All rig thors. uthor. : [email protected] Abstract Development of efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts from earth abundant elements, simultaneously active for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), remains to be a grand challenge for electrocatalysis. Herein we firstly synthesized a new type of bifunctional catalyst (NCNT/CoxMn1 xO)...

Elucidating the intercalation mechanism of zinc ions into α-MnO2 for rechargeable zinc batteries.

The intercalation mechanism of zinc ions into 2 × 2 tunnels of an α-MnO2 cathode for rechargeable zinc batteries was revealed. It involves a series of single and two-phase reaction steps and produces buserite, a layered compound with an interlayer spacing of 11 Å as a discharge product.
