Iodine and Zinc: what the published research says

PubMed indexes 4 records that name Iodine and Zinc together, either in the title or in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context. Each one is listed below with its study design and, where the abstract states one, the authors’ own conclusion, quoted and linked. This page reports that literature. It does not tell you whether to combine them.

Read this first

An evidence index, not guidance.

Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.

This page lists published research relevant to Iodine and Zinc. It deliberately does not state whether the combination is safe, whether it interacts, in which direction, at what dose, or how far apart to take them.

The research

4 studies naming Iodine and Zinc.

Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.

Suppressing the Shuttle Effect of Aqueous Zinc-Iodine Batteries: Progress and Prospects.

Materials (Basel, Switzerland) · 2024 · PMID 38612159

Review

“Finally, the current status of aqueous zinc-iodine batteries is analyzed and recommendations and perspectives are presented. This review is expected to deepen the understanding of aqueous zinc-iodide batteries and is expected to guide the design of high-performance aqueous zinc-iodide batteries.”

Li et al. · From the abstract

Names both Iodine and Zinc in its title.

Advancements in aqueous zinc-iodine batteries: a review.

Chemical science · 2024 · PMID 38425533

Review

“This review provides a recent update on various strategies and perspectives for the development of aqueous zinc-iodine batteries, with a particular emphasis on the regulation of I2 cathodes and Zn anodes, electrolyte formulation, and separator modification. Expanding upon current achievements, future initiatives for the development of aqueous zinc-iodine batteries are proposed, with the aim of advancing their commercial viability.”

Bai et al. · From the abstract

Names both Iodine and Zinc in its title.

Cation-Conduction Dominated Hydrogels for Durable Zinc-Iodine Batteries.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.) · 2024 · PMID 38348791

“On the iodine cathode side, the electrostatic repulsion between negative sulfonate groups and polyiodides hinders the loss of the iodine active material. This all-round electrolyte design renders zinc-iodine batteries with high reversibility, low self-discharge, and long lifespan.”

Yang et al. · From the abstract

Names both Iodine and Zinc in its title.

Limitations

What this evidence cannot tell you.

Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:

NutriStack

Track what you actually take.

NutriStack is a free iPhone app for organising a supplement routine: what you take, when, and what the published record says about it. Its exploratory interaction checker covers Iodine, Zinc, and several hundred other substances.

The checker is a research and organisation tool, not a clinical decision aid, and its per-pair assessments are excluded from search until they pass claim-level review.
