Estimating the term…
Separators for zinc metal batteries, zinc metal batteries, and methods of fabricating a separator for use in a zinc metal battery are provided. The separator includes a hydrophilic membrane having a first side for facing a negative electrode when arranged in the zinc metal battery and a second side for facing a positive electrode when arranged in the zinc metal battery. The hydrophilic membrane includes a plurality of pores traversing the hydrophilic membrane from the first side to the second side enabling flow of zinc cations between the negative electrode and the positive electrode through the separator. Each of the pores may have a pore size ranging from about 0.1 to 1.3 μm.
A rechargeable battery comprising:
A method for fabricating a separator for use in a rechargeable zinc metal battery, wherein the rechargeable zinc metal battery comprises a membrane, wherein the membrane includes a plurality of pores that form a network that enables the diffusion of zinc cations through the membrane, the method comprising:
A method for fabricating a separator for use in a rechargeable zinc metal battery comprising an electrolyte, wherein the rechargeable zinc metal batter comprises a membrane wherein the membrane includes a plurality of pores that form a network that enables the diffusion of zinc cations through the membrane, the method comprising:
