Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Forum Index : Electronics : of some interest...

Very interesting!  
Possible candidate - with a few years more development - to replace the toxic(and often volcanic!) Lithium batteries used in just about everything today, including all the EV's.

Battery technology is a fascinating subject.

Unfortunately zinc is unlikely to ever have the energy density needed for cars. Trains and some short haul trucks and busses may be able to use it.
It's best application will be grid storage to time shift peak solar output to peak demand.
