As the world moves towards sustainable and renewable energy sources, there is a need for reliable energy storage systems. A good candidate for such an application could be to improve secondary aqueous zinc–manganese dioxide (Zn-MnO2) batteries. For this reason, different aqueous Zn-MnO2 battery technologies are discussed in this short review, focusing
The Zn-MnO 2 alkaline LR6 (AA) battery has been the mainstay of the primary battery market for nearly 60 years. 1 The low cost and abundance of the source materials have made alkaline AA batteries one of the most ubiquitous electrochemical energy storage cells, with nearly 2 billion cells sold in 2013 alone. 2,3 Despite this ubiquity, there is still much to be

Rechargeable alkaline zinc batteries attract increasing research attention. The reaction mechanisms of alkaline zinc batteries are discussed. The progress on positive electrodes, zinc electrodes, and electrolytes are reviewed. The remaining issues and possible strategies are highlighted.
A cathode is an important component in the zinc-ion battery as it acts as a host for zinc-ions. Therefore, its structure should be flexible to host the large ions without structural disintegration and maintain high electronic conductivity to keep the working of the battery alive (Selvakumaran et al. 2019).Both aqueous and nonaqueous types of electrolytes can be used
The ideal battery system for grid storage should therefore be energy-dense, reliable with long cycle life, low-cost, and safe. Ideally, it should have a cost under $100/kWh, energy density over 250 Wh/L, lifetime over 500 cycles, and discharge times on the order of 1–10 h. Considering some of these factors, alkaline zinc–manganese oxide (Zn–MnO
Rechargeable alkaline Zn–MnO 2 (RAM) batteries are a promising candidate for grid-scale energy storage owing to their high theoretical energy density rivaling lithium-ion systems (~400 Wh/L), relatively safe aqueous electrolyte, established supply chain, and projected costs below $100/kWh at scale.
The recycling complexity of spent alkaline zinc-manganese dry batteries contributes to environmental pollution and suboptimal resource utilization, highlighting the urgent need for the development of streamlined and efficient recycling strategies.
