A plant based breakthrough made by Chinese scientists can help improve the performance of the water-based zinc batteries. The breakthrough uses the konjac plant – a root vegetable which is ...

Zinc-ion batteries are a non-flammable option, due to their water-based chemistry, Brown noted. He said that the zinc-ion energy storage systems have the same power, performance, and footprint a ...

Remember all those smoking cellphones? Researchers think they've found a safer, long-lasting zinc battery that uses water-in-salt electrolytes that could prevent those electronic fires.
