Ultra-safe zinc battery technology can compete with lithium battery

In a more perfect world, your cell phone battery will easily last throughout the day, the power will not degrade over time, and most importantly, it will not explode. It sounds like a dream, but researchers at the University of Maryland have developed a new water and zinc-based battery that can meet all three standards in a way that could eventually emerge in future consumer electronics.

This technical paper, developed by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, was published Monday in the journal Natural Resources. The combination of zinc and water is particularly effective in solving safety problems, such as the explosion of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 battery in 2016. According to the researchers, the new battery will not be as fire as the lithium-ion batteries commonly used in mobile phones and laptops. Risk, while also surpassing lithium batteries in terms of life.

Zinc batteries are not new and have long been safe, inexpensive energy options, but in the past they were also curtailed by their limited life cycle and low energy density. Wang Fei, a journal paper and postdoctoral deputy director of the University of Maryland and the Army Research Laboratory, said that the new "zinc-containing water" battery is the best of both worlds. We have a battery that can compete with lithium-ion batteries in terms of energy density, but there is no danger of explosion or fire. ”

Researchers say that their new batteries may eventually be used in consumer electronics. It can also be used under extreme conditions to improve the performance of vehicles used in aerospace, military and deep-sea environments where explosive batteries can have catastrophic consequences.
