Progress in cathode materials for zinc ion batteries
Zinc ion batteries(ZIBs)have attracted extensive attention of scientists in recent years due to their advantages of safety performance,low cost and environmental friendliness.In this paper,the types and working principles of zinc ion batteries are briefly introduced.The types and research progress in cathode materials for zinc ion batteries are mainly discussed.In particular,the organic cathode materials containing manganese oxides,vanadium oxides,Prussian blue and carbonyl groups materials are described in details.Zinc/air secondary battery and organic cathode materials containing carbonyl group with conjugated structure,will be the research hot spot of large capacity zinc ion battery in the future.Moreover,improving the working voltage and cycle stability of zinc ion battery are the key problems to be solved.However,the preparation of new electrode materials with high-capacity and the researches of the relative electrolyte for zinc ion battery will be the development directions in the future.
