Fast charging zinc-ion batteries to flip a foundational belief in
Using their new tool, he and his team uncovered for the first time why fast charging makes zinc settle into smooth, tightly packed layers instead of dangerous, needle-like spikes.

Fast charging a battery is supposed to be risky—a shortcut that leads to battery breakdown. But for a Georgia Tech team studying zinc-ion batteries, fast charging led to a breakthrough: It
As the demand for energy storage solutions continues to grow, the development of fast-charging zinc-ion batteries represents a significant step forward in the evolution of battery
Scientists in the US discovered that zinc-ion batteries could potentially replace lithium-ion ones as fast charging makes them stronger instead of wearing them down. Led by Hailong Chen, PhD,
