    A new, superior alternative has emerged in the world of sustainable battery systems. Zinc-air batteries have emerged as a better alternative to lithium in a recent Edith Cowan University (ECU) study into the advancement of sustainable battery systems.

    ECU’s Dr Muhammad Rizwan Azhar led the project which discovered lithium-ion batteries, although a popular choice for electric vehicles around the world, face limitations related to cost, finite resources, and safety concerns.

    “Rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are becoming more appealing because of their low cost, environmental frie...
