  • Publication number: 20230282806
    Abstract: An anode for a zinc metal battery and a zinc metal battery using the same are provided. An anode for a zinc metal battery includes a zinc metal film and a protective layer formed on a surface of the zinc metal film, and the protective layer may be zinc phosphate. Since the protective layer coats the outermost surface of the zinc metal film, direct contact of the zinc metal film with an electrolyte can be prevented. Accordingly, zinc dendrites formed during plating/stripping of zinc ions during charging and discharging of the battery may grow uniformly, and thus, short circuit of the battery may be prevented.

  • Publication number: 20230187703
    Abstract: Provided are an electrolyte for a manganese ion battery and a manganese ion battery using the same. In the electrolyte for a manganese ion battery, manganese salt is dissolved in an organic solvent and dissociated into manganese ions and anions, and manganese ions are used as a charge transfer material in the electrolyte to enable charging and discharging of the manganese ion battery. The electrolyte for a manganese ion battery uses manganese ions as a charge transport material and thus has good compatibility with manganese metal used as a negative electrode. In addition, the manganese ion battery to which the electrolyte is applied can use manganese metal, which is significantly cheaper than lithium metal and has a lower reactivity than lithium metal, as a negative electrode, so there are fewer side reactions during battery operation.
