The recent shining on lithium has put other battery technologies – such as zinc – in the shadows, even though they have been around for generations. When it comes to disposable batteries, carbon zinc has undoubtedly proven its value, though the technology for a time was less successful when applied to rechargeable batteries. Recharging causes the formation of sharp-edged zinc dendrites that pierce the separation between anode and cathode and cause the battery to short-circuit. However, a team at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C., has found a way to avoid dendrite buildup by making the anodes with a sponge-like structure, and zinc carbon is set to enjoy a renaissance.
