Development of Durable Zinc Anode for Next Generation Sustainable Zinc-Air Batteries

The project brings together Canadian industrial and academic partners. This project will allow Pi-Sol Technologies, our industrial partner to develop durable and cost-effective zinc anodes for sustainable energy applications such as Zin-Air batteries. The zinc-air battery market includes a large number of electronic gadgets and appliances used in day-to-day life, remote sensing & communication sector, and as energy back-up for photovoltaic cells being developed by Pi-Sol Technologies Inc. to address solar power intermittency. The products developed will be very competitive for Pi-Sol Technologies and for Canada in a new and open Zinc-Air batteries market whose value es expected to reach US$ 2,848.90 Mn by 2026. This will keep the partner organization at the forefront of sustainable energy storage and conversion technologies. The project will also contribute to the training of highly qualified personnel who will be useful both in academia and industry.
