Study Finds New Way to Improve Safety and Lifespan of Zinc-Ion Batteries
Scientists at the Institute of Nano Science and Technology (INST), Mohali, have developed a new electrolyte additive that could make aqueous zinc-ion batteries safer, longer-lasting and more affordable, offering a potential boost for large-scale renewable energy storage. The research addresses some of the key challenges that have limited the commercial adoption of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs), including zinc dendrite formation, hydrogen evolution, corrosion and poor cycling stability. Ins...
