Context:
Scientists at the Institute of Nano Science and Technology have developed a new electrolyte additive, BDIM, to improve the durability of aqueous zinc-ion batteries. The additive suppresses dendrite formation, corrosion and hydrogen evolution, making such batteries safer and more suitable for grid-scale energy storage.
Explanation:
- Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are emerging as a sustainable, inherently safe, and highly affordable alternative to lithium-ion batteries.
- While they cannot match the high energy density required for electric vehicles, their non-flammable water-based electrolytes make them ideal for grid-scale energy storage and stationary applications.
