Could Zinc Gel Chemistry Outperform Flow Batteries?

Cars That Think

In theory, they should be a good choice for applications, such as storing surplus energy from renewables. Gelion founder and inventor of the new technology, Professor Thomas Maschmeyer at the University of Sydney, describes how it works. Our aim is to firm renewables, making solar and wind into baseload generation."

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.
