Hindustan Zinc Ltd teamed up with IIT Madras to develop advanced zinc-air battery technology, with a focus on creating an affordable and sustainable alternative to traditional lithium-ion batteries. Zinc-air batteries are increasingly gaining attention due to their low cost, rechargeability, and durability.
Through the partnership, Hindustan Zinc aims to build a one kWh electrically rechargeable battery prototype, pushing forward the development of zinc-based energy storage solutions.
The collaboration highlights zinc’s promising role in reshaping the energy storage market by tackling challenges like high costs, resource availability, and safety concerns. As reported by devdiscourse.com, with rising lithium prices, zinc presents a viable, competitive option, set to transform the future of sustainable energy.
