A look inside the energy density manganese dioxide-zinc battery developed at CCNY
A new generation of manganese dioxide-zinc batteries with unprecedented cycle life and energy density is the latest innovation at The City College of New York-based CUNY Energy Institute. The discovery has made the common household battery suitable for large grid Storage applications. City College Snr Research Associate Gautam G. Yadav and his team applied a new twist to the old chemistry behind batteries. The result is a battery that takes advantage of intercalation and complexation chemistry to make the cathodes rechargeable to a larger extent, greatly extending its life.
“A new layered crystal structure of manganese dioxide is used in this chemistry, which is intercalated with copper ions...
