The demand for efficient and sustainable energy storage solutions highlights the emerging potential of rechargeable zinc ion batteries (ZIBs). Recognized for their cost-effectiveness and environmental sustainability, ZIBs still face significant challenges such as limited energy density and cycle life. This research topic pivots to focus on the critical interactions at the nano-structured electrode and electrolyte interfaces, which are central to improving the performance of these batteries. By delving into the nano-scale architecture of electrodes and their interfaces with electrolytes, this research seeks to unlock advancements in charge/discharge kinetics and stability, thereby enhancing the overall efficacy of ZIBs.
The primary objective of this initiative is to explore and overcome the complex challenges at the electrode-electrolyte interface that impede the performance of ZIBs. This includes addressing issues like electrode degradation, interface stability, and ion transport dynamics. By employing innovative nano-structuring techniques and examining the interface chemistry, researchers aim to develop strategies that achieve superior energy storage capacity, extended cycling life, and optimized electrochemical performance. Success in these areas could significantly elevate the role of ZIBs in the future of energy storage technologies.
Contributions are invited from authors who can provide comprehensive insights into nano-structured electrode materials, focusing on their synthesis, characterization, and interaction with electrolytes. Key themes for manuscript submissions include:
- Nano-structured electrode materials and their impact on the battery’s performance.
- Approaches to enhance battery life and performance.
- Mechanisms about the electrode-electrolyte interphase and performance enhancements.
We welcome original research articles, thorough reviews, and perspective pieces that collectively enrich our understanding and push the boundaries of ZIB technology. This approach fosters collaborative advancements and shared knowledge, propelling the development of next-generation rechargeable batteries.
