Aquion - Zinc-Manganese Oxide Battery
Zinc-Manganese oxide batteries are continuously making waves, which is quite important. Learn more about it here. Zinc-manganese oxide batteries already exist, but recent innovations are getting closer to making these batteries efficiently rechargeable. With rechargeability and some improvements in charge capacity and efficiency, zinc manganese batteries are poised to compete with lithium-ion and similar batteries.
When Can We Expect It?
Smaller device batteries are already available, but it may be several years before larger, rechargeable zinc-manganese batteries will be powerful and effective enough for mass manufacturing. However, new battery technology is being developed that will bring these batteries back to the forefront of the field.
One of the biggest advantages of this kind of battery is that they are much safer than lithium-ion batteries. Since lithium-ion batteries are inherently flammable there are limits to what the batteries can do safely. Zinc-manganese batteries don’t share that problem, so they will be a safer and easier-to-use option when they match lithium-ion batteries for power. These batteries might even be suitable for large power networks and other high-demand applications as a kind of super battery. They may also be used in new solar battery technology, especially for in-home use.
Here are some current solar batteries if you’d like to learn more.
