The researchers were then able to use the fiber to create a zinc-ion battery prototype that could power a wrist watch. Skip to main content. Your source for the latest research news.

The batteries exhibited an impressive year-long lifespan in cycle testing, retaining 70% of their initial capacity—an astonishing improvement compared to existing zinc-ion battery technology.
