New applications and emerging markets in electromobility and large‐scale stationary energy storage require the development of new electrochemical systems with higher energy density than current batteries. Rechargeable metal–air batteries, mainly lithium–air and zinc–air systems, are considered one of the most promising candidates. In contrast to lithium, zinc is abundant, inexpensive and its electrodeposition in aqueous electrolytes is relatively easy. Unfortunately, achieving a rechargeable zinc–air battery is still hindered by various technical problems related to the reversibility and lifetime of the electrodes.

• An overview of progress in electrolytes for secondary zinc-air batteries and other storage systems based on zinc (2018, background): “In solutions with pH values higher than 9, zinc solubility rise again with pH, and hence in the high-pH-range zincate ions (Zn(OH)4(2) ) formation is favored since zinc oxide and hydroxides tend to dissolve [40,56].”
