title: Cooperation behavior between heterogeneous cations in hybrid batteries.
abstract: A cooperative behavior of Zn(2+) and Li(+) to conduct charges in a Zn-LiFePO4 battery is disclosed. When Li(+) dissolves into the electrolyte, Zn(2+) would deposit, and vice versa. In light of this cooperative behavior, the battery can be viewed as a super hybrid system, which combines the strong points of Zn-air battery, lithium-ion battery and redox-flow cell.
