TL;DR: In this article, a new approach for the development of natural polymer-based hydrogel electrolytes with high ionic-conductivity and good anti-freeze capability was described.

TL;DR: In this paper, a quasi-solid-state ZIB with guar gum bio-polymer electrolyte was constructed, which is the first work that demonstrates high performance and long cycling life of a flexible ZIB using solid-state electrolyte, and achieves the best cycling performance ever reported for ZIBs.

TL;DR: In this article, a quasi-solid-state zinc ion battery using kappa-carrageenan bio-polymer electrolyte is presented. But the battery is not suitable for wearable electronic power source.

TL;DR: This work develops an efficient one-step synthesis method for large scale production of manganese-based materials/conducting polymers as the cathode for ZIB application, and provides an insight into its energy storage mechanism.

TL;DR: In this paper, a free-standing Zn anode was fabricated using a simple spin-coating technique, and its application in ZIBs was demonstrated, and the volumetric energy density reached 8.22 mW h cm-3 with a battery thickness of 0.4 mm.
