Some engineer.
Here is an excerpt :
Zinc has long been considered as a promising material for low cost energy storage [5e7]. In particular, regenerative zinc fuel cells are ideal for economical long duration energy storage for three fundamental reasons: 1) power generation and energy storage are separated such that energy can be stored at low cost; 2) zinc has a high energy density, highest among the common metals that can be reduced in aqueous electrolytes and 3) zinc is inexpensive and abundant, being one of the lowest cost metals in the market. Numerous attempts with various designs and operation principles have been made in the past to develop regenerative zinc fuel cells but without success [8]. The most challenging problems have been jamming during transporting the zinc metal into and out the electrochemical cells and uneven distribution of the materials within a cell and between individual cells. e-Zn has successfully resolved the challenging issues of jamming and material distribution based on a novel concept and operation principle. Functional prototype cells have been constructed and successfully demonstrated, based on which a patent application has been filed [9]. In this article, the design of the electrochemical cell system and results of the prototype testing are reported. The potential applications of this technology with its unique features and the economical advantages in comparison to other technologies are also discussed.
Zinc 8 has some fundamental problems, that is why no product on the market to date.
