A zinc-bromide gel sits at the heart of a new battery pilot manufacturing venture. Some of the well-known advantages of a zinc-bromide solution (no deterioration of charge capacity, ability to function at high temperatures) have been captured and re-purposed into a more versatile gel, which in turn can leverage some of the faster production benefits found in lithium-ion batteries. And according to the makers, the gel battery is also fully recyclable.
