Chemistry: Non-Lithium Chemistries

Zinc-ion Batteries Advancing the design of primary household batteries, Zinc Manganese Dioxide batteries have had significant development as cheap, safe and sustainable rechargeable batteries.

BASIC CHEMISTRY

USE CASE BACKUP POWER AND GRID STORAGE

Zinc-ion batteries are being developed using both near neutral and basic electrolytes. These batteries have a pathway to $50/kWh cell cost level due to the low cost of materials and existing supply chain for the primary battery market. The manufacturing process emits 70% less CO2 during manufacturing and is fully recyclable. With the theoretical max specific capacity of 308 mAh/g, a lot of up and coming companies and research is being performed to advance zinc-ion batteries to solve manganese dioxide dissolution and improve rechargeability.
