The problem is that a suitable material to act as a cathode in these batteries has not yet been found. In this study, a team of scientists from UFPA, UFS, USP and Swedish institutions investigated three compounds, also based on zinc, to evaluate their potential as cathodes for zinc-ion batteries. Using theoretical calculations, the authors examined the structure, electronic properties and electrolytic performance of these compounds, and listed the advantages and limitations of each one for the desired application. <a style=\"color: #337ab7;\" href=\"https:\/\/sbplink.sbpmat.org.br\/cl\/PTK5b\/A\/ad78\/0\/BLdP\/EfkG0jwlfS3\/2\/\"><b>Go to the paper.<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left; color: #666666; background-color: #ffffff; padding: 10px 20px;\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" width=\"100%\">\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; color: #666666; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #336699; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px; font-family: Arial; color: #336699; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; color: #336699; text-align: left;\"><b>People from the community<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 20px;\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" width=\"100%\"><!-- [if gte mso 9]>\n\n\n<table align=\"center\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"560\" style=\"width:560px;table-layout:fixed;word-wrap:break-word;\">\n\n\n<tr>\n\n\n<td align=\"center\" valign=\"top\" width=\"560\" style=\"width:560px;\"><![endif]--><\/p>\n<table style=\"table-layout: fixed;\" border=\"0\" width=\"560\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"100%\"><a class=\"imgGl\" href=\"https:\/\/sbplink.sbpmat.org.br\/cl\/PTK5b\/A\/ad78\/0\/BLdP\/CPp9esVcnYL\/1\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"vertical-align: top;\" src=\"https:\/\/dl.dnzdns.com\/v\/kWGva7ABF0415\" alt=\"5\" width=\"560\" height=\"310\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!-- [if gte mso 9]><\/td>\n\n\n<\/tr>\n\n\n<\/table>\n\n\n<![endif]--><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left; color: #666666; background-color: #ffffff; padding: 10px 20px;\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" width=\"100%\">\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; color: #666666; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; color: #666666; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: #666666; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;\">Prof. Edgar Zanotto (DEMa-UFSCar), founding member of B-MRS, was honored with The ICG President&#8217;s Award, an award from the International Commission on Glass that distinguishes, every three years, individuals who have stood out in scientific discoveries, engineering developments or artistic achievements in the area of \u200b\u200bglass materials.
