Lithium-ion batteries are the most popular battery storage option today, controlling more than 90% of the global grid battery storage market, according to some estimates. However, the lithium-ion ...

Spurred by concerns over cost, safety, and sourcing of raw materials, researchers are on the hunt for alternatives to lithium-ion batteries. Now, scientists have developed a proof-of-concept, ...

Zinc-based batteries are rechargeable, using zinc as the anode material. During discharge, zinc atoms oxidize, releasing zinc ions that travel through the electrolyte to the cathode, where they are ...

Most of the disposable batteries you’ll come across are technically termed alkaline batteries. They work at high pH and typically use zinc as the charge carrier. Zinc is great because it’s very cheap, ...

A new battery system removes toxic metals from wastewater and generates electricity in the process, offering a low-cost, power-positive alternative to conventional treatment. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...
