Abstract
This study offers a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the aqueous zinc-ion battery (AZIB) research landscape, highlighting current trends, collaborative networks, and key contributions. Specifically, it addresses the key question of how advanced characterization techniques and materials design strategies can effectively accelerate the transition of AZIBs from laboratory research towards industrial-scale applications. A notable finding is the relatively limited number of publications in the field, primarily due to the cost-intensive equipment required for AZIB research. Nevertheless, AZIBs hold significant promise as a sustainable energy storage solution, thanks to their cost-effectiveness, safety, and environmental benefits. The study emphasizes the importance of advanced characterization techniques and material design methodologies in developing long-lasting AZIBs. Key characterization methods such as X-ray diffraction, spectroscopy, and electron microscopy provide crucial insights into material properties and structural integrity. Additionally, real-time in-situ techniques, including electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and X-ray tomography, allow dynamic monitoring of battery performance during the manufacturing process. Quality assurance protocols like Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) are also essential for ensuring consistency and reliability in large-scale production. The study underscores the pivotal role of material selection in scaling up AZIB production. Overall, this analysis provides valuable insights for researchers and industry professionals, contributing to the advancement and industrialization of AZIB technology for sustainable energy storage.
