Anode Free Zinc-Metal Batteries (AFZMBs): A New Paradigm in Energy Storage
Original language description
In the past few years, aqueous zinc-metal batteries (ZMBs) have gained much attention and can be regarded as a potential alternative to lithium-metal batteries owing to their high safety, nature of abundance, and environmental sustainability. However, several challenges persist, including dendrite formation, corrosion, and unwanted side reactions, before ZMBs can be fully utilized in practical applications. To circumvent these issues, anode free zinc-metal batteries (AFZMBs) have emerged as a next-generation energy storage system. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of recent developments in AFZMBs, including their working mechanisms, advantages over conventional ZMBs, and the challenges for practical implementation. It also highlights the key strategies, including current collector modification, electrolyte engineering, and 3D printing techniques to enhance zinc deposition uniformity and cycling stability. The review also explores how 3D printing technology can revolutionize the design of advanced current collectors and zinc-rich cathodes, optimizing material utilization and enhancing battery performance. Finally, with a future perspective of AFZMBs is concluded, highlighting the need for further research to address existing bottlenecks and fully unlock their potential for next-generation energy storage.
