Abstract

Energy storage and battery solutions play a crucial role in developing and implementing innovative renewable energy solutions essential for achieving climate neutrality and reducing energy costs. However, the majority of current battery solutions employ toxic or flammable materials, have low storage times and often rely on large amounts of critical raw materials, resulting in high costs and inefficiency. The EU-funded HIPERZAB project seeks to address these challenges by developing a revolutionary electrically rechargeable Zing-Air battery with improved cyclability, lower costs and extended storage times. This battery is designed for use with renewables or even electrolysers. The project focuses on sustainability and circularity in its development of several novel components.

Background

The Green Deal sets ambitious goals for EU climate neutrality by 2050, enabled by a progressive increase of renewable energy share by 2030 to 40%, pursued by the ‘FIT for 55%’ package, and based on a more affordable, secure, and clean energy systems. The achievement of these targets requires the development of sustainable, interconnected, sector-coupled, and flexible Electrochemical Energy Storage (EES) systems, fundamental to guarantee the spatial and temporal matches between power generation and demand with high volumetric energy densities. However, current available storage options are limited by their costs, safety, storage time, size, and environmental concerns particularly when aiming for mid-long term storage requirements. As a solution to these EES drawbacks, metal-air batteries present several advantages like the use of aqueous electrolytes with inorganic salts, cheap and abundant active materials (e.g., zinc), and high gravimetric energy density together with long-term stability; but, even in a redox-flow configuration, they cannot guarantee storage times > 4-12 h, and the present mechanical recharging concepts (e.g., by replacing Zn anode or flushing a liquid anolyte or the electrolyte), require large peripheries and drastically increase operation and maintenance costs.
