Zinc Bromide GEL batteries. Cheaper, greener, simpler & safer than lithium -ion!

Energy storage is becoming an increasingly crowded market which, at least at utility scale, is still dominated by lithium-ion technology. But cheaper, greener and safer alternatives are being developed all the time. One of the latest candidates uses well established zinc-bromide chemistry but with a completely new twist, all wrapped up in very inexpensive and easily recyclable packaging from existing battery production lines. Very clever!
