Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are gaining attention as a safer and more affordable alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). While LIBs remain the most widely used energy storage technology, they come with safety risks due to their reliance on flammable organic electrolytes. In contrast, aqueous ZIBs use water-based electrolytes, making them non-flammable, environmentally friendly, and more affordable.
