Abstract

Highlights Introduced a novel physics-based continuum model for Zn/MnO₂ rechargeable batteries, enhancing understanding of electrolytic zinc depletion. Validated model predictions with empirical data, showcasing accurate voltage behavior and capacity limitations during battery cycling. Revealed electrolytic zinc depletion as a key mechanism limiting cell capacity, guiding future design improvements. Emphasized the model’s role in advancing grid-scale energy storage solutions by optimizing aqueous battery chemistries. Suggested further material characterization and reaction analysis to refine the model and improve battery performance.
