Aqueous zinc-metal batteries are promising next-generation energy storage systems due to their low cost, high abundance, non-toxicity and environmental friendliness. The usage of aqueous electrolytes ensures high safety and easy handling, making them particularly attractive for stationary energy storage applications. [...]

Zinc is an inexpensive and widely available material that has long been used commercially in Zn–carbon and alkaline primary batteries, as well as in Zn–air primary batteries. Recently, rechargeable systems with mildly acidic electrolytes using zinc cations for charge transport—zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) and zinc-metal batteries (ZMBs)—have attracted increasing attention.
