CSIC develops new battery design that increases power by 80%

Euronews Portugal10 September 2026 at 07:49

The Superior Council of Scientific Research (CSIC) developed a new battery design that increases power by 80%. The technology was created by the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona and represents a significant advance in the field of energy storage.

The new technology reduces energy losses and improves the performance of zinc-air batteries. This type of battery is considered promising because it uses more abundant and less toxic materials compared to other existing technologies.

The discovery opens the way for application in various storage technologies. CSIC researchers believe this innovation can contribute to the development of more efficient and sustainable energy solutions.
