HIPERZAB Project

HIPERZAB

High Performing Electrically Rechargeable Zinc-Air Batteries for sustainable mid-term energy storage.

About the project

The main goal of HIPERZAB is to develop an Electrically Rechargeable Zn-Air Battery (ERZAB) ideal for mid-term storage (days/weeks) to be coupled with renewables and electrolysers. HIPERZAB will achieve an actual paradigm shift with respect to the battery performance, lifetime, safety, sustainability, and costs of liquid electrolyte-based Zn-Air Batteries (ZABs) through the investigation of three innovative components: 3D porous Zn/biopolymer composite anode, eco-friendly bilayer gel biopolymer electrolyte, and CRM-free structured cathode
