Description
Self-organized metallic nanostructure are scalable, robust, conductive, highly permeable to fluids, and abundant in functional surface sites. We leverage nanoporous zinc to stabilize zinc anodes during the charging and discharging processes of rechargeable zinc batteries, enabling safer and cheaper alternatives to lithium-ion batteries for stationary energy storage.
Content
