Unconventional charge compensation mechanism for proton insertion in aqueous Zn-ion batteries Aqueous Zn-ion batteries have been proposed as safe and economical options for large-scale energy storage. In theory, they operate by reversibly shuttling zinc ions between a metallic zinc anode and a cathode material for Zn2+ ion intercalation through an aqueous electrolyte of a zinc salt solution.

AbstractLiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NMC811) is a popular cathode material for Li-ion batteries, yet degradation and side reactions at the cathode-electrolyte interface pose significant challenges to their long-term cycling stability. Coating LiNixMnyCo1−x−yO2 (NMC) with refractory materials has been widely used to improve the stability of the cathode-electrolyte interface, but mixed results have been reported for Al2O3 coatings of the Ni-rich NMC811 materials.
