Abstract:

With the implementation of the national "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality" policies, the development of new electrochemical energy storage technologies becomes an important support for the new power system and energy transformation. Among various energy storage devices, aqueous zinc ion batteries(AZIBs) attracts widespread attention due to their abundant resources, high theoretical specific capacity, high safety and cost effectiveness. However, their rapid development urgently requires breakthroughs in the technical challenges of electrode materials. At present, there are three common problems with the positive electrode materials of AZIBs, which make it difficult to apply them with high performance and long endurance under complex service conditions. In this article, starting from the development history of AZIBs, the authors systematically elaborate on four common energy storage mechanisms of positive electrode materials of AZIBs through the exploration of recent relevant literature. Then, the authors summarize the inherent low conductivity, slow ion transport speed, and poor structural stability of three common positive electrode materials: manganese based materials, vanadium based materials, and organic materials. Furthermore, the authors focuses on four improving strategies and corresponding progress, including the construction of novel microstructures, oxygen vacancy concentration regulation, interlayer structure regulation, and increasing material hydrophobicity. Finally, the authors discuss the research prospects and specific directions in material composite method, research field expansion, and characterization testing technology, providing reference and inspiration for the design and development of high-performance AZIBs.
