Benchmarking Anode Concepts: The Future of Electrically Rechargeable Zinc–Air Batteries

Abstract A variety of batteries employing an alkaline zinc anode have been investigated and partially commercialized over the last decades. Of these, electrically rechargeable zinc–air batteries have been considered, since the mid 20th century, as a sustainable alternative for future green energy storage. Despite significant research efforts, it has so far not been possible to commercialize this b…
