 This research has developed a novel rechargeable aqueous zinc ion battery, ZIB, with metal organic framework MOF, materials as both the cathode and anode. The MOF materials used in the battery are able to store zinc ions while also providing a stable zinc stripping slash plating process on the zinc anode, resulting in a much higher cycle life compared to previous batteries.
