MIT Researchers Solve Corrosion In Metal Air Batteries
November 15, 2018 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… MIT researchers have found a way to substantially reduce metal air battery corrosion, making it possible for such batteries to have much longer shelf lives. Metal-air batteries are one of the lightest and most compact types of batteries available, but they can have a major limitation: When not in use, they degrade quickly, as […]

A Major Zinc Air Battery Improvement
August 17, 2017 | 5 Comments
University of Sydney researchers have found a solution for one of the biggest stumbling blocks of zinc-air batteries. Zinc-air batteries could overtake conventional lithium-ion batteries as the power source of choice in electronic devices. Zinc-air batteries operate with zinc metal and oxygen from the air. Due to the global abundance of zinc metal, these batteries […]
