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.

Under certain conditions, some battery chemistries are at risk of thermal runaway, leading to cell rupture or combustion. As thermal runaway is determined not only by cell chemistry but also cell size, cell design and charge, only the worst-case values are reflected here. [64]
The term zinc–air fuel cell usually refers to a zinc–air battery in which zinc metal is added and zinc oxide is removed continuously. Zinc electrolyte paste or pellets are pushed into a chamber, and waste zinc oxide is pumped into a waste tank or bladder inside the fuel tank. Fresh zinc paste or pellets are taken from the fuel tank.
For example, when one immerses a strip of zinc metal (Zn) in an aqueous solution of copper sulfate (CuSO 4), dark-colored solid deposits will collect on the surface of the zinc metal and the blue color characteristic of the Cu ++ ion disappears from the solution. The depositions on the surface of the zinc metal consist of copper metal, and the ...
Zinc chemistry resembles that of the late first-row transition metals, nickel and copper, [53] as well as certain main group elements. Almost all zinc compounds have the element in the +2 oxidation state. [54] When Zn 2+ compounds form, the outer shell s electrons are lost, yielding a bare zinc ion with the electronic configuration [Ar]3d 10. [55]
Multivalent batteries are energy storage and delivery technologies (i.e., electro-chemical energy storage) that employ multivalent ions, e.g., Mg 2+, Ca 2+, Zn 2+, Al 3+ as the active charge carrier in the electrolytes as well as in the electrodes (anode and cathode). Multivalent batteries are generally pursued for the potentially greater ...
Silver zinc cells share most of the characteristics of the silver-oxide battery, and in addition, is able to deliver one of the highest specific energies of all presently known electrochemical power sources. Long used in specialized applications, it is now being developed for more mainstream markets, for example, batteries in laptops and ...
