水系鋅電池的現況與未來挑戰

Current developments and challenges in aqueous zinc-ion battery

近年來，可充電水性鋅離子電池（AZIBs）由於其安全性、便宜、環保與優異的電化學特性，作為儲能裝置中有前途的替代品而引起了人們的興趣。然而，儘管許多研究促進了這項技術的發展，其仍有許多問題需改進，如陽極的支晶成長問題，以及目前主流的陰極材料有較低的電容量等問題。本文介紹了鋅離子電池之特性、優點、陰極陽極材料以及目前面臨之挑戰。

Recently, the research in aqueous zinc ion battery is blooming due to high safety, low-cost, eco-friendly as well as displaying the feasibility and reliability. As a potential alternative to energy storage in next generation, aqueous battery has dragged considerable attention due to the gradual decrease of fossil fuel resources. Whereas, there are lots of problem needed to be addressed, such as the dendrite growth happened in anode and lack of suitable materials as cathode. Herein, this article briefly and systematically introduced the development of aqueous battery from basic mechanism to present challenges and future perspectives.
