Could Zinc Gel Chemistry Outperform Flow Batteries?

Cars That Think

Gelion founder and inventor of the new technology, Professor Thomas Maschmeyer at the University of Sydney, describes how it works. Zinc-bromine technologies can do well due to the low cost of materials." It means we are able to have the zinc-bromide chemical advantages within the advantages of lead-acid packaging.

Ionova Technologies says ZIP-Cap ultracapacitors can offer 5x increase in energy density and 25x reduction in build cost (updated with graphic)

Green Car Congress

Alternatively, aqueous (water-based) asymmetric ultracapacitors can provide improvements not only in cost, safety and in some cases, environmental impact, but can also provide greater energy and power densities than the non-aqueous approach. And this chemistry and architecture allow low-cost, ultra large scale manufacturing.
