Description
Summary:A key challenge for present-day electric energy storage systems, such as supercapacitors and batteries, is to meet the world's growing demand for high performances, low cost, and environmental-friendliness. Here, we introduce a hybrid energy storage system combining zinc iodide (ZnI 2 ) as redox electrolyte with a nanoporous activated carbon fiber (ACF) cathode and a zinc disk anode. We found that the nanopores (
