The new batteries exhibit high voltages between 2.45-2.8 V, delivering high capacities close to its theoretical value, which is a first for aqueous-based batteries. Mumbai-born scientist Dr Gautam Yadav has invented a new high-voltage, energy-dense rechargeable manganese dioxide (MnO2) zinc|(Zn) battery, which could be an alternative to Li-ion batteries that have dominated the energy storage […]
Why Li-ion batteries are the progressive option for data centers
Lithium-ion battery systems are more than just the chemistry used to store and supply energy Today’s data centers are more complex than ever before, but one thing has remained unchanged over the past three decades – batteries are a critical but imperfect part of the power chain. Data centers have long been at the mercy […]
