Researchers from the University of Technology Sydney and the University of Manchester's National Graphene Institute have created a novel method to extend the life of zinc-ion batteries, providing a more secure and environmentally friendly alternative for energy storage. Nature Communications reported the findings. A two-dimensional (2D) manganese-oxide/graphene superlattice that initiates a distinct lattice-wide strain mechanism was created by the researchers.
