In a significant advancement for energy storage technology, researchers have developed a novel electrode that effectively suppresses the harmful self-discharge phenomenon in flowless zinc-bromine batteries (FLZBBs).
The quest for clean, sustainable energy is on, and researchers are constantly innovating to improve energy storage systems. Lithium-ion batteries, while dominant, come with a major safety concern: flammable electrolytes.
FLZBBs offer a promising alternative with their non-flammable properties. However, a pesky issue called self-discharge has hampered their widespread adoption.
Now, a team of researchers at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) in Korea have developed a revolutionary electrode that tackles this issue head-on, paving the way for a future powered by safe and efficient FLZBBs.
