Hydrogel Electrolytes for Flexible Rechargeable Zinc-Air Batteries

该项目旨在通过创新功能水凝胶作为固态电解液来推动柔性可充电锌空气电池(ZABS)的发展。柔性可充电ZABS是新兴的柔性电子产品最有前途的电源，但缺乏高性能的柔性电解液是其应用的关键瓶颈。在水凝胶创新的基础上，该项目将解决柔性电解质在柔性可充电ZABS中面临的最关键挑战。该项目的发现将创造多学科研究产生的新知识，并为实现新一代灵活可充电ZABS作为一种高效、耐用的灵活储能技术铺平道路。

This project aims to advance the development of flexible rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs) by innovating functional hydrogels as solid-state electrolytes. Flexible rechargeable ZABs are the most promising power source for emerging flexible electronics, but lacking of high-performance flexible electrolytes is a critical bottleneck for their applications. Based on hydrogel innovation, this project will address the most critical challenges of flexible electrolytes in flexible rechargeable ZABs. Findings from this project will create new knowledge generated from multidisciplinary research and pave the way to realise a new generation of flexible rechargeable ZABs as a highly efficient and durable flexible energy storage technology.
