Eos is accelerating the shift to American energy independence with zinc-powered energy storage solutions. Safe, simple, durable, flexible, and available, our commercially
The growing global demand for sustainable energy storage has positioned zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) as a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), offering inherent advantages in safety, cost, and environmental compatibility.
There are two main types of zinc-based batteries: zinc-air batteries and zinc-ion batteries. Both leverage zinc's natural properties—high energy density, abundance, and non-toxicity—to deliver power.
Low cost: Zinc is cheaper than lithium, cobalt, or nickel. These batteries are being tested for use in renewable energy storage, consumer electronics, and even electric scooters. Companies like Eos Energy Enterprises and NantEnergy are commercializing zinc-ion technology for large-scale applications.
Zinc-based batteries aren't a new invention—researchers at Exxon patented zinc-bromine flow batteries in the 1970s—but Eos has developed and altered the technology over the last decade. Zinc-halide batteries have a few potential benefits over lithium-ion options, says Francis Richey, vice president of research and development at Eos.
