In the literature on zinc-based batteries, it is often highlighted that zinc offers significant advantages over lithium due to its abundance, affordability, and accessibility. Additionally, aqueous rechargeable zinc batteries are promoted as a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to lithium-ion batteries, especially for renewable energy storage. The aim of this Comment is to provide a perspective on these statements, elucidating their foundations and implications and giving a quick but comprehensive background to authors and readers that deal with this topic, focusing specifically on batteries with zinc ions shuttling reversibly between the metallic negative electrode and the insertion-type positive electrode.
在关于锌基电池的文献中，人们经常强调，由于锌储量丰富、价格低廉且易于获取，与锂相比具有显著优势。此外，水系可充电锌电池被推崇为锂离子电池的一种可持续且经济高效的替代品，特别是在可再生能源存储方面。本评论的目的是对这些观点提供一种视角，阐明其依据和影响，并为处理该主题的作者和读者提供一个快速而全面的背景知识，特别聚焦于锌离子在金属负极和嵌入型正极之间可逆穿梭的电池。
