A new approach developed by researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) involving a porous organic polymer has significantly extended the lifespan of zinc-ion batteries. Instead of a few ...

Scientists have found a way to push zinc–bromine flow batteries to the next level. By trapping corrosive bromine with a ...

This is the last entry — at least for this year — in my series on batteries. Batteries are the missing link to total off-grid ...

The results disclosed that the battery operated stably for more than 700 cycles at a current density of 40 milliamperes per ...

Lithium-ion batteries are widely used to fuel various kinds of devices, from smartphones to electric cars. But they have limitations: lithium batteries are expensive, rely on rare materials, and can ...

While our transition to renewable energy is critical if we are tomeet our climate targets, fully relying on sources such as solar and wind still presents a major challenge: efficient and sustainable ...

Battery researchers at Australia's Edith Cowan University discovered the advantages of zinc-air batteries over lithium-ion for electric vehicle applications. Zinc batteries, claimed to be the oldest ...

Massive lithium batteries may have a part to play in grid-scale storage of renewable energy, as we're seeing with the giant Tesla battery in South Australia. But they can also be mighty expensive to ...

Sweden’s Enerpoly has flung open the doors to its zinc-ion battery megafactory in the north of Stockholm – making it the first manufacturing facility to use this battery technology at a large scale in ...

The Zinc Battery Initiative (ZBI) and its members have collaborated with experts from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and West Virginia University (WVU) to develop an effective path to ...

Zinc batteries potentially offer a much lower fire risk than their market-leading yet fire-prone lithium-ion cousins, but researchers have concluded that the technology still needs a major boost to ...

In battery storage, there is no silver bullet chemistry type and as we move towards more ambitious decarbonization goals, room is being made for diverse systems. As an old technology with new vitality ...
