Abstract

Abstract : Aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) are the most promising rechargeable batteries for the grid energy storage and industrial energy storage for its lower cost and higher safety. There are three main problems, which are the major obstacle to the development of ZIBs. One is the cathode electrode and finding a suitable cathode material is the foundation to solve above problem. The cathode materials consist of Mn‐based materials, V‐based materials, Prussian blue analogous (PBAs), Quinone and the others materials. The second is the reaction mechanisms of Zn 2+ ions storage in ZIBs. The third is the improving reaction kinetics of insertion and diffusion of Zn 2+ in the cathode materials.
