Scientific discovery could be key to commercializing zinc metal batteries for large-scale storage

Scientists led by an Oregon State University researcher have developed a new electrolyte that raises the efficiency of the zinc metal anode in zinc batteries to nearly 100%, a breakthrough on the way to an alternative to lithium-ion batteries for large-scale energy storage. The research is part of an ongoing global quest for new battery…
