Generally, the term zinc-ion battery is reserved for rechargeable (secondary) batteries, which are sometimes also referred to as rechargeable zinc metal batteries (RZMB). [ 2 ] Thus, ZIBs are different than non-rechargeable (primary) batteries which use zinc, such as alkaline or zinc–carbon batteries.
Numerous types of zinc-based batteries like nickel-zinc/aqueous zinc batteries, alkaline manganese dioxide/zinc batteries, silver-zinc batteries, zinc-air batteries, and zinc-ion batteries are now being used for various applications (Biton et al. 2017; Li et al. 2019; Ming et al. 2019; Parker et al. 2017; Yan et al. 2014).
Recently, aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZBs), based on Zn 2+ intercalation chemistry, have obtained growing attention due to its high theoretical volumetric energy density, low redox potential of Zn (− 0.76 V vs. standard hydrogen electrode), and high abundance ( Qin et al., 2014; Liu et al., 2013; Suo et al., 2015 ).
Moreover, large redox potential of Zn equal to − 0.763 V against standard hydrogen electrode (SHE), avoidance of zinc dendrites, huge volumetric energy density, and long life cycle are also an additional features of zinc-ion batteries .
In recent times, zinc-based batteries have become the area of interest in rechargeable batteries because they are relatively inexpensive and present in large abundance in the Earth’s crust. Moreover, Zn is relatively less reactive than Li/Na, hence the ease of handling while manufacturing zinc-based batteries (Chen et al. 2019; Kundu et al. 2018).
Since zinc batteries are cheaper, safer, environmentally friendly, and less reactive than lithium batteries, then, zinc batteries have the potential to cater for numerous applications like grid-scale storage, electric vehicles, and smart electronics.
