Breakthrough Membrane Technology Extends Lifespan of Zinc-Iodine Flow Batteries
Scientists have created a specialized membrane that revolutionizes zinc-iodine flow battery performance. The technology selectively filters hydrated ions while preventing water migration, significantly extending battery lifespan under demanding conditions.
Revolutionary Membrane Design
Researchers have developed a breakthrough membrane technology that reportedly enables significantly longer-lasting aqueous zinc-iodine flow batteries, according to recent findings published in Nature Communications. Sources indicate the innovation centers on a specially designed Zn-MOF-CJ3-based ionic molecular sieve (ZMC-IMS) membrane featuring hydrated ions-confined subnanometer channels that selectively control ion transport.
