The improved zinc-air battery is better than the lithium-ion battery

Australians have perfected the zinc-air battery. According to them, it has become better than the lithium-ion battery. They have succeeded in eliminating the batteries' internal resistance,

while their voltage was close to the theoretical voltage. The result was a high maximum power density and ultra-long stability.

"Zinc-air rechargeable batteries (ZABs) are becoming increasingly attractive due to their low cost, environmental friendliness, high theoretical energy density and inherent safety. Lithium batteries, on the other hand, depend on expensive and limited resources and also present safety problems.

Editor's note It has long been known that lithium batteries are just one stage in energy conservation. Since this technology is considered satisfactory, manufacturers have made no effort to change technology. Manufacturers have invested too much in this technology to change. All they are doing is increasing their production capacity.

So even though the zinc-air battery has many more qualities, the production units are forcing people to keep the lithium ion technology.
