| Work Detail |
Researchers from the China University of Petroleum have synthesized a novel hydrogel electrolyte that, when paired with a Prussian blue cathode, achieves outstanding energy density and cyclability in sodium-zinc hybrid ion batteries. Aqueous, non-lithium-based, rechargeable batteries are promising candidates for next-generation large-scale energy storage systems owing to their safety credentials and low cost. However, their commercialization is hindered by a narrow electrochemical stability window and relatively low energy density. With the development of advanced electrolytes a precursor to improved performance, researchers from the China University of Petroleum have reported a breakthrough that represents a significant leap forward in the field of aqueous battery technologies. |
