New Electrolyte Additive Could Boost Durability and Affordability of Aqueous Batteries
Scientists at the Institute of Nano Science and Technology (INST), Mohali, have developed a novel electrolyte additive that could significantly improve the performance, safety and lifespan of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs), paving the way for more cost-effective and sustainable energy storage solutions. AZIBs are increasingly being viewed as a safer and cheaper alternative to lithium-ion batteries due to their low cost, environmental sustainability and inherent safety. However, their widesp...
