Under the increasingly severe climate and regulative pressures to achieve carbon neutrality, current electrochemical energy storage systems are in need of a radical upgrade to meet various demands from end users. Aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) provide sustainable routes to grid-scale energy storage because of their cost and safety advantages, using mild aqueous electrolytes and abundant metallic zinc anodes. The advances in materials discovery and innovation in device configuration have improved the performance of AZI Bs in all aspects, including durability, operating voltage range, energy/power density, and economic availability. The recent progress of AZI Bs technology, such as facile electrolytemcomponents and additives for aqueous AZI Bs will be discussed in this talk.

Dr Guanjie He is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at University College London (UCL). He obtained his PhD from UCL and spent part of his doctoral studies as a visiting scholar at Yale University. His research focuses on the preparation of novel materials and advanced characterization and simulation, particularly their applications in aqueous electrochemical energy storage and conversion.
