Taking Silver-Zinc Battery Technology to the Next Level

ZPower uses the latest in advanced polymers, nano-technology, power electronics and processing methods to create a battery that far surpasses all other rechargeable batteries in the areas of performance, safety and environmental friendliness.

The success of ZPower’s technology can be found in three important areas:

1) Composite Polymer Zinc Anode

• The zinc anode in ZPower batteries is a composite polymer electrode which inhibits shape change and dendrite growth.  In the past, shape change and dendrite growth in traditional silver-zinc cells was frequently an issue.  These issues have been solved with ZPower silver-zinc technology.

2) Multi-Functional, Layered Separator

• ZPower has created a highly-effective separator stack that resists dendrite growth from the zinc anode, while simultaneously resisting degradation from the silver cathode.  At the same time, it allows ions to move freely from the cathode to the anode to minimize the cell’s internal resistance.  This results in a superior silver-zinc battery cell which offers long life and quick charge time.

3) Nano-Particle Silver Cathode

• The silver cathode in ZPower batteries is coated with nano particles.  This nano-technology enhances conductivity for lower internal resistance.

 

Advantages of Silver-Zinc Battery Technology

High Performance:  40% more run-time than traditional lithium-ion batteries.

Clean Technology:  95% of key elements can be recycled and reused.

Safety:  Water-based chemistry is inherently safe.
