Korean researchers develop artificial polymer nanolayers to improve zinc battery stability
Researchers at Chungnam National University in South Korea have developed a new zinc-bonded polyacrylic acid (ZHP) layer that prevents dendrite growth and stabilizes the anode in zinc-ion batteries. Aqueous zinc-ion batteries are gaining attention as a safer and more affordable alternative to lithium-ion batteries. However, previous protective coatings developed to prevent side reactions and sharp… Read more »
