Lessons from the sea: Nature shows us how to get ‘forever chemicals’ out of batteries

“The results were remarkable. Our gallol-based zinc batteries maintained 52 per cent higher energy efficiency after 8,000 charge-discharge cycles compared to conventional batteries that use fluorinated binders. In practical terms, that means longer-lasting devices, fewer replacements and a smaller environmental footprint”

Why on Earth wasn’t this research done years ago, as fundamental-in-the-field research?

This ought be front-page tech-news, actually..
