Zinc-based Batteries with Binary Zn2+/Na+ Aqueous Electrolytes

Key Points

• The study aims to explore the application of zinc-based batteries using aqueous electrolytes and sodium ions.
• Investigated the use of zinc in water-based secondary batteries.
• Combined sodium-ion battery cathodes with zinc anodes.
• Evaluated charge control through anion coordination with iron phosphate (FePO4) cathodes.
• Demonstrated successful insertion of ion species into FePO4 cathodes.
• Achieved selective control over the ion insertion process using anion coordination.
• Indicated potential for expanded applications in large-scale power sources.
