New catalyst design could slash costs for next-generation zinc batteries

Researchers have engineered a new electrode material that combines cobalt and sulfur to boost performance in rechargeable zinc-air batteries—a cheaper, safer alternative to lithium-ion technology. The advance could accelerate commercialization of zinc batteries for grid storage and electric vehicles, sectors where cost and safety remain major barriers to adoption.
