Abstract
Zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitors (ZHSCs) combine the high energy of zinc-ion batteries with supercapacitors’ long life and high power density. Therefore, they are considered promising candidates for next-generation high-performance energy storage systems. However, zinc dendrite growth, which can puncture the diaphragm, leading to short circuits and capacity degradation, is a current challenge for ZHSCs. This review summarizes the research progress of ZHSCs in cathodes (including carbon-based materials, transition metal oxides, MXenes, and conductive polymers), anodes, electrolytes, and diaphragms. It also describes the effects of electrode material structure, electrolyte composition, and diaphragm structure on the growth of zinc dendrites to offer methods for enhancing the performance of ZHSCs.
期刊介绍:
Energy & Fuels publishes reports of research in the technical area defined by the intersection of the disciplines of chemistry and chemical engineering and the application domain of non-nuclear energy and fuels. This includes research directed at the formation of, exploration for, and production of fossil fuels and biomass; the properties and structure or molecular composition of both raw fuels and refined products; the chemistry involved in the processing and utilization of fuels; fuel cells and their applications; and the analytical and instrumental techniques used in investigations of the foregoing areas.
