Could Zinc Gel Chemistry Outperform Flow Batteries?

Cars That Think

A new technology from Australia is certainly raising this prospect, offering a novel approach to stationary energy storage—whose packaging at least harkens back to the old, familiar car battery. In theory, they should be a good choice for applications, such as storing surplus energy from renewables.

Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

Aqua Metals works with companies that are really good at collecting, safely transporting, storing, crushing and separating spent lithium-ion batteries. We take that black mass as the input to our process, which is then powered by 100% renewable, carbon-free energy. Other batteries are coming from battery energy storage systems.
