From storing renewable energy to powering homes, rechargeable zinc batteries are emerging as a game-changing alternative to lithium-ion batteries, especially in applications where safety, cost, and sustainability are a priority. Engineered to serve the special needs of rechargeable zinc batteries, our AQ-series IonPort® separators enable uniform ion distribution, helping to minimize localized current densities, inhibiting dendrite growth and mitigating the hydrogen evolution reaction.
In addition, delfort offers functionalized separators within the AQ product series to enhance zinc-ion flow. Furthermore, our separators with their superior chemical stability support the use of modified electrolytes or additives that extend the electrochemical window and suppress side reactions.
our fiber separators are a game-changer for zinc batteries
We created the highly functional IonPort® portfolio, a unique fiber-based separator solution designed to enhance longevity, performance, safety and efficient cell manufacturing in batteries and supercapacitors. To serve the specific needs for zinc-ion batteries, we offer our IonPort® AQ product series, a separator portfolio specifically engineered for rechargeable zinc systems.
The separator plays a crucial role in supporting the performance and longevity of zinc-ion batteries through a carefully considered design in terms of:
- high uniformity
- low resistance
- high puncture strength
- chemical functionalization
- dimensional stability
“Rechargeable zinc batteries combined with delfort’s IonPort® separators represent a powerful step forward in providing safe, sustainable, and high-performance energy storage solutions. By uniting these cutting-edge technologies, we aim to unlock new levels of efficiency and reliability in the battery industry.
advantages of zinc batteries
Once overshadowed by other chemistries, zinc is making a powerful return and rewriting the future of energy storage. Rechargeable zinc batteries offer a unique combination of safety, sustainability, and affordability.
Unlike lithium-ion systems, they operate in non-flammable aqueous electrolytes, making them inherently safer. Zinc is also one of the most abundant and recyclable metals on Earth, sourced without the environmental and ethical concerns tied to other battery materials. And with competitive performance at a lower cost, zinc batteries are becoming a powerful solution for large-scale storage, mobility, and backup applications.
the Zinc Battery Initiative
Our recent membership in the Zinc Battery Initiative allows us to support and promote the adoption of rechargeable zinc batteries, a technology that aligns perfectly with our commitment to safety, sustainability, and performance.
We are pleased to join the Zinc Battery Initiative, as we seek to collaborate with leading innovators in zinc battery technology.
The Zinc Battery Initiative (ZBI), led by the International Zinc Association, promotes the development and commercialization of zinc-based battery technologies. It brings together industry leaders, researchers, and manufacturers to accelerate innovation and market adoption.
“We are thrilled to welcome delfort, the perfect complement to the leading zinc battery developers and suppliers comprising ZBI’s membership. ZBI continues to grow an organization, representing zinc battery developers, suppliers, and other supporting industries – all united in the effort to promote this high-performing yet affordable battery technology,” said Dr. Josef Daniel-Ivad, Head of the Zinc Battery Initiative.
