Zinc batteries are electrochemical energy storage devices in which zinc is the major active ingredient in the anode. These batteries are available in numerous combinations, including zinc-carbon, zinc-air, zinc-manganese dioxide, and rechargeable zinc-ion. Zinc batteries work on the basic idea of oxidizing zinc at the anode and reducing another material at the cathode during discharge, with the opposite occurring during charging in rechargeable versions. Zinc batteries have various advantages, including high energy density, low cost, and environmental friendliness because zinc is abundant and non-toxic. Their stability and safety distinguish them, as they do not pose the same concerns of thermal runaway or fire as other battery chemistries. Zinc-air batteries, for example, have received attention for their potential in electric vehicles and grid storage applications due to their high theoretical energy density. However, zinc batteries encounter issues, such as dendrite formation in rechargeable versions, which can reduce cycle life and performance. Ongoing research aims to overcome these difficulties and increase the overall efficiency and lifespan of zinc-based energy storage devices.
