Future Long Cycling Life Cathodes for Aqueous Zinc‐Ion Batteries in Grid‐Scale Energy Storage

Abstract Developing sustainable energy storage systems is crucial for integrating renewable energy sources into the power grid. Aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (ZIBs) are becoming increasingly popular due to their safety, eco‐friendliness, and cost‐effectiveness. However, challenges remain in achieving realistic storage time per charge, long cycling life, and high energy storage capacity in practical conditions. Despite advancements in cathode materials, issues such as dissolution and side reactions limit their performance. Optimizing cathode architecture and electrolyte composition is essential to address these challenges. Tailored electrolyte formulations can stabilize electrode‐electrolyte interface (EEI and…
