Record-breaking zinc-air battery survives 3,570 charges over 74 continuous days
SMRTR summary
Australian scientists created a breakthrough zinc-air battery that lasted 74 days and survived 3,570 charging cycles by replacing expensive platinum catalysts with cobalt-doped carbon sheets. The Monash University researchers achieved record-breaking performance with power density of 229.6 mW/cm² and energy density of 997 Wh/kg, potentially transforming clean energy storage for electric vehicles and renewable energy applications.
