🦀 Batteries made from crab shells
Scientists at the University of Maryland have developed zinc batteries that use a biodegradable electrolyte made from carb shells. Electrolytes are what batteries need to shuttle ions between the positive and negative electrodes during charging and use. This new battery uses a gel electrolyte made with chitin, a biological material found in fungi, squid, and mostly in the exoskeletons of crustaceans.
“Zinc is more abundant in earth’s crust than lithium. Generally speaking, well-developed zinc batteries are cheaper and safer.” — said the study’s lead author Liangbing Hu.
The results were published in the journal Matter.
