While traditional Lithium ion battery systems cannot support these flexible devices, the Zinc-air system with its high energy and power density, is a very promising alternative. However, its widespread application is limited by issues caused by traditionally used alkaline electrolytes which effectively amputates long term cycling. To this end, a new and a non-toxic and inexpensive class of electrolytes are studied. These aprotic non-aqueous electrolytes are expected to improve surface integrity of zinc electrodes over cycling. This work aims to examine the morphology of the disassembled electrode and issue a statement on the viability of this electrolyte. application/pdf en_US CC BY Deep Eutectic Solvents Room Temperature Ionic Liquids Zinc-air batteries Materials Science Materials science and engineering Investigation On the Surface Morphology Of Metal Anodes In Zinc Air Batteries With Non-Aqueous Aprotic Deep Eutectic Solvent Electrolytes Thesis Restrict to UW for 5 years -- then make Open Access 2027-03-24T23:46:38Z embargo
