报告简介：

Large-scale energy storage plays a crucial role in transition to a renewable energy powered future. Rechargeable zinc batteries hold great promise for this application because of their high energy density, low cost, environmental friendliness, and intrinsic safety. However, the wide application of this technology is hindered by several critical challenges, including short cycle life and low power density. In this talk, I will first discuss the fundamental causes of these issues. Then, I will introduce our strategies to tackle these challenges, with an emphasis on manipulation of the mass/charge transport and electrochemical reactions at the electrode/electrolyte interface. The similarities and differences between static and flow zinc batteries will be compared and elaborated. Finally, I will discuss the remaining challenges and future perspectives.
