As a result, only two electrons are transferred to the oxygen molecule, creating a peroxide. As a result, ZnO 2 forms when the battery discharges, instead of zinc oxide (ZnO). The researchers ...

The zinc-air battery developed by the researchers also produces hydrogen peroxide in a low-cost and environmentally friendly way, making it a win-win situation for all, a press release said.

"Our innovative, non-alkaline electrolyte brings a previously unknown reversible zinc peroxide (ZnO 2)/O 2 chemistry into the zinc-air battery,” says Wei Sun, lead researcher on the study.

The novel method enables making nanoclusters of zinc peroxide in an environmentally friendly manner, without the use of additional chemicals. The as-synthesised zinc peroxide nanoparticles can be ...

As the demand for green vehicles and power sources increases, researchers worldwide are working to invent new types of batteries that can hold more energy and allow vehicles to drive longer per ...

In this report on the cytotoxic effect of zinc peroxide particles, we demonstrate that such an adverse effect on human cells, cancer suspension cells, and adherent tumour cells depends strongly on ...
