      abstract     = {The continuously increased demand for electrical energy and
                      the associated strong growth in renewable energy necessitate
                      robust, sustainable, and cost-effective stationary energy
                      storage solutions. This review paper evaluates zinc-based
                      batteries as viable alternatives to conventional lithium-ion
                      and vanadium redox flow systems for stationary storage
                      applications. Highlighting zinc's accessibility,
                      cost-effectiveness, lower environmental impact, and
                      well-developed recycling infrastructure, this review
                      provides a comprehensive analysis of various zinc battery
                      chemistries, including zinc-metal, zinc-air, and zinc redox
                      flow batteries. The study provides a historical context of
                      zinc battery development from primary to secondary cells
                      while identifying key challenges, such as low cell voltage,
                      dendrite formation, passivation, and hydrogen evolution.
                      Current advancements in electrode design, including novel 3D
                      architectures, tailored electrolyte formulations, and
                      optimized catalyst development, are discussed in detail.
                      Additionally, a techno-economic analysis compares material
                      costs and operational efficiencies of zinc systems with
                      state-of-the-art alternatives, underscoring their
                      competitive advantage. The interplay between material
                      properties and system performance is also addressed,
                      offering insights into improving cycling stability and
                      energy density. Overall, this review describes the potential
                      to position zinc batteries as promising candidates for
                      large-scale, sustainable energy storage, capable of
                      complementing and potentially replacing existing
                      technologies in an evolving energy landscape.},
