India, July 24 -- The Government of India has issued a release:
New nanofluid electrolyte developed by scientists which can enhance efficiency of the cathode of electrically rechargeable Zinc-air batteries offers potential for better, safer, cheaper, next generation green batteries.
The electrolyte which is stable over three months, is directly applicable to the zinc-air battery industry and relevant to grid-scale storage and can support electric mobility in India.
Conventionally, costly corrosion inhibitors are added to suppress zinc corrosion, but these often-hinder oxygen reaction kinetics.
This challenge was solved by scientists from SASTRA Deemed University, Thanjavur, dispersed small amounts of inexpensive silica and zinc oxide na...
