Zinc powder, with its micron-sized particles, is highly valued for its high surface area and reactivity, making it essential in energy storage applications, particularly in zinc-based batteries. It significantly enhances the charge-discharge efficiency and cycle life of these batteries. In materials science, zinc powder is used to produce conductive films and protective coatings, offering excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in the automotive and aerospace industries. Additionally, it plays a critical role in the synthesis of zinc oxide, which is pivotal in semiconductor and optoelectronic applications, including sensors, UV filters, and solar cells. Its broad applications in energy storage, electronics, and materials science continue to attract significant research interest.
