New zinc-ion batteries retain 90% capacity after 10,000 cycles

Current zinc-based batteries often have relatively short lifespans because their materials gradually degrade with repeated charge-discharge cycles. By changing the chemistry of the battery’s cathode, Chinese researchers have developed a new liquid zinc-ion battery that retains almost 90 percent of its capacity even after more than 10,000 charge-discharge cycles. According to the team, this equates … Read more
