In October 2024 Dr David DeTata visited the AM2D Hub joined by Dr Manas Ranjan Panda and Deverant T to present progress on the development of aqueous Zn-MnO2 battery that is sponsored by Cientifica (link). 

Zn–MnO2 batteries offer cost-effective, eco-friendly, and efficient solutions for large-scale energy storage applications.
Manas and the Monash team recently published some work in this space (https://lnkd.in/gKAEQATC), and now the team are busy developing new advances on these exciting batteries.

AM2D Collaboration yields first publication – March 2024

In August 2022 Cientifica joined the AM2D ARC Research Hub as a Research Partner, supporting a research project entitled “Prototype Development of Aqueous Zn-MnO₂ Batteries”. In the year since the project began we are proud to present the first of what we believe will be many original research publications. The paper, titled “Acidity-Aided Surface Modification Strategy to Enhance In Situ MnO₂ Deposition for High Performance Zn-MnO₂ Battery Prototypes” is summarised on the AM2D Publications page and is available here. This is an exceptional achievement by the Monash led team and we look forward to the next phase of research in anticipation of one day seeing Zn-MnO₂ batteries become common place in large-scale energy storage applications.
