"Zhang and his team proposed two types of hybrid cell prototypes that would employ the proton-shuttle-shielding, hydrophobic-ion-conducting strategy. Both the hybrid Zn-Mn battery and hybrid Zn-Br battery are expected to exhibit potentially high voltage and a long cycle life, thus showing the feasibility of using such hybrid cells to create high-energy-density aqueous batteries"
