Abstract Scope |
Batteries play significant role in powering modern electronic devices. Li-ion batteries are widely used in such applications. However, there are several factors such as scarcity of Li metal, major safety issues, cost and life cycle that affect the long-term applicability of Li-batteries. Hence, in this study we focus on alternative battery technology using Zn metal. Zinc is naturally abundant metal as compared to Lithium with high theoretical volumetric capacity, it is considerably safe and stable in ambient condition. In order to utilize maximum volumetric capacity of Zn, we used additive manufacturing technique to fabricate 3D Zn anode. Our results suggest, that 3D Zn anode show higher rate capability at high charge-discharge current as compared to commercial Zn foil. The higher performance owes to the porous surface area of designed 3D Zn anode and can be used for high-performance battery application. |
