Zinc anode
A zinc anode is the negative electrode of a battery in which metallic zinc is oxidized during discharge, used since Volta's early-1800s piles in zinc-carbon, alkaline, zinc-nickel, zinc-air, and zinc-ion batteries.
Zinc oxysulfide buffer layer
Zinc oxysulfide buffer layer, written Zn(O,S), is a thin cadmium-free n-type semiconductor film used as the buffer layer in CIGS thin-film solar cells, with a band gap tuned by its oxygen-to-sulfur ratio.
Zinc-air battery
A zinc-air battery is a metal-air electrochemical cell that generates electricity by oxidizing zinc with oxygen drawn from the air, reaching high energy density at low cost.
Zinc-bromine battery
A zinc-bromine battery is a rechargeable hybrid flow battery that plates zinc during charging, first commercialized by Exxon in the 1970s and used for stationary energy storage.
Zinc-ion battery
A zinc-ion battery (ZIB) is a rechargeable battery that uses a zinc metal anode and, typically, a water-based electrolyte, aimed mainly at low-cost, grid-scale energy storage.
Zinc-iron flow battery
A zinc-iron flow battery is an aqueous redox flow battery using zinc and iron redox couples with electrolytes pumped from external tanks, suited to large-scale energy storage.
Zinc-nickel battery
The zinc-nickel battery, or NiZn, is a rechargeable battery pairing a zinc negative electrode with a nickel oxyhydroxide positive one in alkaline electrolyte, patented by Thomas Edison in 1901.
Zinc–carbon battery
The zinc–carbon battery, also called a carbon-zinc battery or ZnC cell, is a non-rechargeable dry cell delivering 1.5 volts, still widely made after more than a century.
Zinc–iodide flow battery
The zinc–iodide flow battery, also called zinc–polyiodide flow battery, is a hybrid redox flow battery storing energy by plating zinc and converting iodide to triiodide.
Zinc–iodine battery
The zinc–iodine battery is a rechargeable battery that couples reversible iodine conversion at a carbon cathode with zinc plating at the anode, usually in a water-based electrolyte.
Zinc–manganese dioxide battery
The zinc–manganese dioxide battery pairs a zinc anode with a manganese dioxide cathode, and its primary alkaline form is the standard household AA, AAA, C, D, and 9V cell.
Zion Nuclear Power Station
The Zion Nuclear Power Station was a two-unit nuclear plant in Zion, Illinois, north of Chicago, that operated from 1973 to 1998 and was decommissioned by 2023.
Zirconium-niobium alloy
A zirconium-niobium alloy is a zirconium alloy used in nuclear reactors, where niobium improves corrosion resistance and strength; main grades include E110, E125, M5, and ZIRLO.
Zirfon Perl
Zirfon Perl is a family of porous separator membranes made by Agfa-Gevaert for alkaline water electrolysis, separating the hydrogen and oxygen electrodes of an electrolyzer.
ZIRLO
ZIRLO is a zirconium alloy developed by Westinghouse for nuclear fuel rod cladding in light water reactors, combining low neutron absorption with better corrosion resistance and creep behavior than earlier Zircaloy alloys.
Zloczew Coal Mine
The Złoczew coal mine (kopalnia Złoczew) is a planned but unbuilt open-cast lignite mine in Poland, intended by PGE to supply the Bełchatów power plant before it was deemed unprofitable in 2021.
