Zinc-ion battery chemistries have the potential to penetrate into the flexible electronic markets, where demand for flexible energy storage devices has been increasing. Flexible batteries must be safe and ultra-thin, and zinc-ion chemistries provide much safer alternatives to similarly energy-dense batteries like lithium-ion batteries.
[94] [95] Zinc is used as an anode material for batteries such as in zinc–carbon batteries [96] [97] or zinc–air battery/fuel cells. [98] [99] [100] A widely used alloy which contains zinc is brass, in which copper is alloyed with anywhere from 3% to 45% zinc, depending upon the type of brass. [93]
The silver–zinc battery is manufactured in a fully discharged condition and has the opposite electrode composition, the cathode being of metallic silver, while the anode is a mixture of zinc oxide and pure zinc powders. The electrolyte used is a potassium hydroxide solution in water.
Powdered zinc is used in this way in alkaline batteries and the case (which also serves as the anode) of zinc–carbon batteries is formed from sheet zinc. [127] [128] Zinc is used as the anode or fuel of the zinc–air battery/fuel cell. [129] [130] [131] The zinc-cerium redox flow battery also relies on a zinc-based negative half-cell. [132]
The zinc-chloride cell, frequently referred to as a heavy-duty, extra-heavy-duty, super-heavy-duty, or super-extra-heavy-duty battery, is an improvement on the original zinc–carbon cell, using purer chemicals and giving a longer service life and steadier voltage output as it is used and offering about twice the service life of general-purpose ...

Nickel–zinc batteries have a charge–discharge curve similar to 1.2 V NiCd or NiMH cells, but with a higher 1.6 V nominal voltage. [5]Nickel–zinc batteries perform well in high-drain applications, and may have the potential to replace lead–acid batteries because of their higher energy-to-mass ratio and higher power-to-mass ratio – as little as 25% of the mass for the same power.
