Abstract: Indium zinc-based alloy anodes include an InxMyZnz alloy, where x ranges from 0.03 to 0.20, z ranges from 0.80 to 0.97, and x+y+z=1 when the anode has not previously been cycled. M is Al, Ag, Bi, Sn, Cd, or any combination thereof. In a partially or fully discharged state after one or more cycles, the anode includes a porous surface portion enriched in indium and a bulk portion comprising the InxMyZnz alloy. In a subsequent partially or fully charged state, the pores may be at least partially filled with zinc.

Abstract: Some batteries can exhibit greatly improved performance by utilizing electrodes having randomly arranged graphene nanosheets forming a network of channels defining continuous flow paths through the electrode. The network of channels can provide a diffusion pathway for the liquid electrolyte and/or for reactant gases. Metal-air batteries can benefit from such electrodes. In particular Li-air batteries show extremely high capacities, wherein the network of channels allow oxygen to diffuse through the electrode and mesopores in the electrode can store discharge products.
