A research team led by Prof. Hu Linhua from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of ...

Scientists in China have developed a new type of bendable battery that keeps working even when twisted or folded, offering exciting possibilities for powering flexible and wearable electronics. Led by ...

Zinc-based batteries aren’t a new invention—researchers at Exxon patented zinc-bromine flow batteries in the 1970s—but Eos has developed and altered the technology over the last decade.

Researchers at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom have applied ...

Zinc-air batteries can also be less efficient at low temperatures. The study is still in its early stages, but the Edith Cowan University researchers are optimistic that it could lead to the ...

Zinc has an atomic mass slightly over 65 while oxygen’s is 16. So even if a battery was 100% zinc at full charge and 100% zinc oxide when spend that would only be a 25% mass increase for the ...

Inside a closed battery, chitosan would gradually degrade over a period of several years, and the remaining zinc could be recycled, he says. Matter DOI: 10.1016/j.matt.2022.07.015 Advertisement ...

Addition of a 2D protective layer to the anode of a zinc-ion battery makes it more efficient and increases its lifespan to over 100,000 cycles.

However, zinc-ion batteries have historically, for lack of a better word, sucked at recharging. This is because zinc-ion chemistries are plagued by dendrites — crystals that cause short circuits.

The Department of Energy is providing a nearly $400 million loan to a startup aimed at scaling the manufacturing and deployment of a zinc-based alternative to rechargeable lithium batteries. If ...
