An Indian innovation with ties to most household medicine cabinets tackles a couple of problems while creating less pollution ...

Using electrodes in a fluid form, researchers have developed a battery that can take any shape. This soft and conformable battery can be integrated into future technology in a completely new way.

The scientists have utilised a zinc-air battery in which oxygen reduction generates H 2 O 2. "Zinc is an abundant and historically-used element … it is very cheap and abundant in India," says ...

A battery technology that provides more charge per pound than nickel cadmium or nickel metal hydride without suffering from the memory effect. Zinc air batteries also last longer than lithium ion.

If a gas as an anode sounds far fetched, we’re guessing that their structure is similar to the zinc-air battery, in which zinc hydroxide forms in a paste of powdered zinc, and works against ...
