A sustainable approach to energy storage in buildings: the first rechargeable geopolymer-based battery†
Abstract
This study presents a novel metakaolin-based geopolymer rechargeable battery with Zn as negative electrode and MnO2 as positive electrode, demonstrating superior energy storage performance of about 3.3 W h L−1. Despite challenges, our findings highlight the potential for integrating energy storage into building materials, paving the way for sustainable infrastructure development.
