This technology strategy assessment on zinc batteries, released as part of the Long-Duration Storage Shot, contains the findings from the Storage Innovations (SI) 2030 strategic initiative.
One possible strategy to achieve zinc ion batteries with reduced environmental impacts is the development of cathode materials able to operate at higher voltages (≈1.3 V for MnO 2, ≈0.7 V for M x V n O m, ≈1.7 V for PBAs, ≈1.1 V for organics), reducing the overall battery volume. [ 66]
This project has the potential to provide a reliable, lower carbon and cost-effective domestic option for manganese products within the electric vehicle battery supply chain that currently relies entirely on foreign imports,” said Pat Risner, President of South32 Hermosa.
Battery grade manganese product revenue is based on internal price forecasts. Internal price protocols reflect South32's view on demand, supply, and stock situations including customer analysis, competitor analysis and identification of major market windows and volume forecasts.
Zn-Ni batteries have a practical energy density of up to 140 Wh/kg or 300 Wh/L and are capable of approximately 500 charge-discharge cycles [5, 10]. Zn–Ni cells also use an aqueous solution of KOH as the electrolyte and Zn as the anode material, with the same fundamental anode reaction during discharge.
Importantly, AZIBs result environmentally competitive with other battery technologies such as Li-O 2 batteries (average of 55.8 kg CO 2 equiv), [ 33] and remarkably lower to the 140.3 kg CO 2 equiv produced by NIBs, [ 30] the average of 127.4 kg CO 2 equiv for Li-S batteries, [ 31] and the median of 120.0 kg CO 2 equiv for LIBs.

One point in favour of zinc-manganese dioxide batteries is the global availability of zinc and manganese dioxide (brownstone), and another plus point is that recycling paths for these raw materials are already established.
One battery raw material of particular interest is high-purity manganese (HPM), an essential input in nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) batteries, which are increasingly in demand for EVs.
Among numerous aqueous metal ion batteries, rechargeable zinc-ion batteries have gained extensive attention thanks to their advantages, including the low redox potential of the Zn anode (−0.763 V vs the standard hydrogen electrode), high theoretical capacity (820 mAh·g −1 or 5855 mAh·cm −3), abundant zinc reserves, and high safety [, , , ].
