Three Dimensional Nickel Hydroxide Cathodes for Energy Dense, Safe Nickel-Zinc Batteries (Tracking Number: 20-000000942)
Abstract
The proposed Navy Undersea Research Program (NURP) project will investigate high capacity Ni-based cathodes to enable rechargeable, energy-dense, safe NiZn batteries for Navy undersea platforms. The objectives of the proposed work are to (i) develop cathode architectures electrically wired in 3D that match the capacity of zinc sponge anodes; (ii) investigate the effectsof using multiple substituents to increase the capacity, minimize the parasitic oxygen evolution reaction, and provide stable multielectron cycling; and (iii) determine structural changes within 3D-wired cathode structures during chargedischarge. The development of cathodes that match the capacity of NRLs zinc sponge anodes and that provide improved capacity over the baseline -Ni(OH)2 cathode materials and traditional electrode structures will enable rechargeable NiZn batteries with high energy density and improved safety for DoN applications.
