The Future of Energy Storage: Nickel-Zinc batteries

Over 100 years ago, Thomas Edison was granted a patent for a nickel-zinc (NiZn) battery.

Unfortunately, numerous technical problems prohibited the commercial success of utilizing this type of technology. But the landscape started to change around 2000, when nickel-zinc battery technology again became a focus of intensive research due to certain advantages over other battery types. Today, NiZn offers big advantages in energy and power density, maintenance cost, environmental safety, and recyclability.

Nickel-Zinc batteries have direct uses in a wide range of applications including heavy trucking, remote telecommunication, data centers, and renewable energy. This technology is uniquely positioned to disrupt the $50+ billion conventional lead-acid battery market and the rapidly growing $30 billion lithium market. To stay ahead of these trends in the market, investors need to better understand innovative battery technologies.
