Abstract
Zinc–sulfur (Zn–S) batteries have attracted a lot of interest in the field of battery development due to their many benefits, which include their extremely high theoretical capacity and energy density, low cost, and excellent safety. However, the development of aqueous Zn–S batteries is hampered by the slow reaction kinetics of sulphur, lower discharge voltage, cathode volume expansion during zincation, and corrosion and hydrogen precipitation reactions of the negative electrode in aqueous electrolyte. These factors also seriously affect the cycle life of Zn–S batteries. This review outlines the advancements made in the field of aqueous electrolyte modification in Zn–S batteries in recent years, emphasises the significance of optimising aqueous electrolytes in raising Zn–S battery performance, and suggests future research avenues based on the findings of the current studies.
期刊介绍：
The development of the Current Opinion journals stemmed from the acknowledgment of the growing challenge for specialists to stay abreast of the expanding volume of information within their field. In Current Opinion in Electrochemistry, they help the reader by providing in a systematic manner:
1.The views of experts on current advances in electrochemistry in a clear and readable form.
2.Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.
In the realm of electrochemistry, the subject is divided into 12 themed sections, with each section undergoing an annual review cycle:
• Bioelectrochemistry • Electrocatalysis • Electrochemical Materials and Engineering • Energy Storage: Batteries and Supercapacitors • Energy Transformation • Environmental Electrochemistry • Fundamental & Theoretical Electrochemistry • Innovative Methods in Electrochemistry • Organic & Molecular Electrochemistry • Physical & Nano-Electrochemistry • Sensors & Bio-sensors •
