Negatively charged nanoporous membrane for a dendrite-free alkaline zinc-based flow battery with long cycle life
Abstract
Dendrite accumulation is a hindrance for alkaline zinc-based flow batteries. Here the authors design a negatively charged nanoporous membrane that mitigates zinc dendrite growth by repulsion of zincate anions, leading to a zinc-based flow battery with high power density and cycling stability.
