Using ethylene glycol to overcome issues in batteries that use zinc instead of lithium-ion

A team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in China has found a way to make batteries using zinc instead of lithium ions but without the issues traditionally associated with zinc. In their paper published in the journal Nature Sustainability, the group describes the batteries and their performance. Florencio Santos and Antonio Fernández Romero with Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena have published a News & Views piece in the same journal issue outlining general issues with using zinc to make batteries and the work done by the team in China.
