CORVALLIS, Ore. – Scientists led by an Oregon State University researcher have developed a new electrolyte that raises the efficiency of the zinc metal anode in zinc batteries to nearly 100%, a breakthrough on the way to an alternative to lithium-ion batteries for large-scale energy storage. The research is part of an ongoing …
We demonstrate herein that Mn3+ and not Mn2+, as commonly accepted, is the dominant dissolved manganese cation in LiPF6-based electrolyte solutions of Li-ion batteries with lithium manganate spinel positive and graphite negative electrodes chemistry. The Mn3+ fractions in solution, derived from a combined analysis of electron …
Significant progress has been made in manganese-based ZIBs over the last decade, as depicted in Fig. 2.The first MnO 2-Zn primary battery in history consisted of a carbon black cathode, a Zn foil anode, and a mixed electrolyte of ZnCl 2 and NH 4 Cl. Since then, intensive research has been conducted into the use of manganese dioxide in various …
By choosing an alkaline electrolyte and a neutral electrolyte with a cation-exchange membrane between the two, the ESW of this zinc-hybrid battery could be extended to 3 …
Alkaline Battery - an overview
We propose an electrode-free zinc manganese battery, where both zinc and MnO2 are electro-deposited from the electrolyte via a charging process onto carbon current collectors. The electrode-free batteries show an improved cycling performance of thin-film batteries than the ones with a zinc anode and a facili
The experimental data showed that the electrolyte can support stable cycling of symmetric cells for more than 700 h at a current density of 0.1mA cm-2, which is far beyond the performance of the reported manganese-metal battery electrolytes.
Currently, one of the emerging aqueous battery technologies is the aqueous zinc-manganese battery (AZMB), which holds manifold advantages in safety, ...

With 90% electrolyte, the battery delivers reversible discharge/charge capacities of 140.7, 135.6, 126.2, 116.2, 100.5 and ∼ 74.8 mAh·g −1 at …
A practical Zn-MnO2 battery is still challenged by the deterioration stability under the low current density due to the activeness of water in aqueous electrolyte. Herein, we reported a novel and practical hybrid silica-based ZnSO4/MnSO4 mixed solution (Si-ZMSO) electrolyte, which obviously improved the cycle stability of Zn-MnO2 battery. …
2.2. Dual-ion co-insertion mechanism When Zn 2+ is embedded, the phenomenon of slow embedding of zinc ion is often encountered, which is due to the large scale and high spatial resistance of zinc ion after hydration, and it carries a 2-unit positive charge, which makes a strong electrostatic repulsive force between it and the positive …

6.5.1: Zinc/carbon batteries
Considering some of these factors, alkaline zinc–manganese oxide (Zn–MnO 2) batteries are a potentially attractive alternative to established grid-storage battery technologies. Zn–MnO 2 batteries, featuring a Zn anode and MnO 2 cathode with a strongly basic electrolyte (typically potassium hydroxide, KOH), were first introduced as …
Based on this electrode mechanism, we formulate an aqueous zinc/manganese triflate electrolyte that enables the formation of a protective porous …
