    According to reports, Stanford University and Toyota Central Research Institute in the United States jointly developed a new technology for batteries, which are only half the price of the most advanced lithium batteries
    .
    It is reported that the raw materials used in the battery are the same
    as cheap disposable batteries.
    New technologies will accelerate the popularization of batteries and make the output of renewable resources such as electric vehicles and solar energy more stable
    .

    Stanford University researcher Sang-go To, and others developed the technology and published it in Nature Communications, a subsidiary of the Nature Publishing Group, on June 6
    .

    Most primary batteries use cheap and common zinc
    for the negative electrode.
    If it is charged repeatedly, zinc will form a needle-like substance
    on the surface of the negative electrode.
    This needle-like substance destroys the battery, making it difficult for batteries made of zinc to be used as batteries
    .

    Tosanggo et al.
    repeatedly studied to make the needle-like substance produced by zinc during charging extend in the direction of not damaging the battery, and realize repeated charging
    .

    Batteries made of zinc use water that is cheap and easy to output current as electrolyte, there is no risk of flammability and explosion, and the production and storage costs are low
    .
    Existing manufacturing equipment can be used to control cost investment
    .
    It is reported that the battery is comparable in performance to the current general-purpose lithium battery, but the price is less than half
    of the lithium battery.
    It will be popularized
    in areas such as power storage and electric vehicles with large electricity consumption.

    On the other hand, the performance of lithium batteries also has room for further development
    .
    R&D will continue to be promoted for industries that require higher performance, and the coexistence of lithium batteries and zinc batteries will continue
    .
