India, Feb. 19 -- The Government of India has issued a release:
In a significant stride for sustainable energy storage, researchers have developed a novel cathode material that dramatically enhances the performance and stability of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs).
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries, which use water-based electrolytes, are hailed as safe, cost-effective, and environmentally benign contenders for storing energy from renewable sources like solar and wind. Zinc metal offers high theoretical capacity, abundant reserves and used directly as the anode. However, the development of high-capacity, long-lasting cathode materials has been a key challenge.
Researchers from the Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS), Bengaluru, an...
