Alkaline batteries are primary batteries that use zinc and manganese dioxide (Zn/MnO2) chemistry, providing a longer shelf life and higher energy density compared to other disposable batteries.

A research team from the University of Science and Technology of China has introduced a new chemical battery system which ...

And it’s easy to see why: they’re efficient chargers, easy to dispose of, and have a higher energy density than alkaline batteries. Dubbed ‘white gold’ by investors, lithium’s demand has ...

With this in mind, scientists from Japan’s National Institute for Materials Science and Softbank have developed a rechargeable lithium-air battery. They claim it has an energy density that ...
