Researchers have developed a sustainable, plant-derived cellulose hydrogel that solves the "dendrite problem" in aqueous zinc ...

The recycling and recovery of metals from spent alkaline and zinc‐carbon batteries are emerging as pivotal processes in the sustainable management of battery waste. These processes involve a sequence ...

A research team led by Prof. Weishen Yang and Prof. Kaiyue Zhu from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) at the Chinese Academy of Sciences utilized trace amounts of carbon dots to develop ...

Fast charging a battery is supposed to be risky—a shortcut that leads to battery breakdown. But for a Georgia Tech team studying zinc-ion batteries, fast charging led to a breakthrough: It made the ...

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 ...

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 ...

One major barrier to the technology’s commercialization is that dendrites form more actively in aqueous zinc batteries than in lithium-ion batteries. Utilizing copper oxide, the research team was able ...

Fast charging speeds things up, but usually at the cost of battery life. So when a team at Georgia Tech discovered that cranking up the charge rate actually made zinc-ion batteries stronger, it turned ...
