ZAF Energy Systems Patents Anchored Electrolyte for Alkaline Batteries
ZAF Anchored Electrolyte Alkaline Battery
ZAF’s latest patent enables long-life zinc-based batteries by harnessing synergistic interactions between electrolyte and zinc electrode additives
ZAF’s latest patent enables long-life zinc-based batteries by harnessing synergistic interactions between electrolyte and zinc electrode additives. The combination of additives chemically anchors the electrolyte to the electrode to suppress the redistribution and passivation of zinc, which have historically led to premature failures in zinc-based batteries. Utilizing the anchored electrolyte in Nickel-Zinc (Ni-Zn) batteries has led to cycle life gains of 21% and increased electrode utilization. The use of this chemistry has also allowed for an increase of active material in the zinc electrode, leading to a gain in energy density of 37% for the electrode. These results demonstrate that ZAF is revolutionizing the Ni-Zn chemistry.
When combined with advancements in cell design and manufacturing processes, ZAF’s Ni-Zn battery will help smooth the path towards transitioning to safer and more environmentally friendly energy storage solutions. According to Randy Moore, President and CEO of ZAF Energy Systems, “ZAF will continue to develop and refine both the chemistry and manufacturing processes of nickel-zinc to provide an alternative battery solution that will change the way we power the world.”
