Achieving a stable zinc electrode with ultralong cycle life by implementing a flowing electrolyte

In this work, we investigated the impacts of flowing electrolyte on the dendrite inhibition in symmetric battery. Firstly, in static condition, the influence of capacity and current density were investigated. Then, the flowing electrolyte was introduced to the symmetric battery to gain the relationship between the current density and flowing rate. Finally, a stable zinc electrode with ultralong life of 18000 cycles was achieved by changing the flowing orientation. This work can provide a reference for the developments of zinc-based batteries.
