Tsinghua team develops zinc-air fuel cell stack with high power density

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Tsinghua University have developed a high-power-density zinc-air fuel cell (ZAFC) stack using an inexpensive manganese dioxide (MnO 2 ) catalyst with potassium hydroxide (KOH) electrolyte. Moreover, zinc has other merits, such as, abundant resources, low cost, low toxicity, easy storage and safe handling.

How clean is EV battery manufacturing?

Electric Auto Association

Gasoline always emits 20 lbs of toxic air pollutants per gallon, and can only be burned once. What is the impact on the EV lifecycle carbon footprint? A 30% decrease in grid carbon intensity would reduce emissions from the battery production chain by about 17%. This C02 stays in the atmosphere for thousands of years.
