Researchers say they have developed a graphene coating that ‘supercharges zinc-ion batteries for grid use’
Zinc-ion batteries are promising for energy storage, but their traditional current collectors suffer from scalability issues, restricting industrial applications.
In a recent study, researchers from Dongguk University, South Korea have designed a novel alternative current collector in the form of graphene-coated stainless-steel foil.
Consequently, they achieve batteries with high electrochemical performance and superior cycling stability, potentially paving the way for industrial-scale systems.
The present century has witnessed a proactive shift towards more sustainable forms of energy, including renewable resources such as solar power, wind, nuclear energy, and geothermal energy. [Read more…] about Scientists develop ‘supercharging technology’ for batteries using graphene
