Folge 16: Salzwasserakkus In der Batterieentwicklung geschieht momentan so einiges. Batterien sind wichtig für die E-Mobilität, aber auch um Energie aus Solar- und Windkraft zu speichern. In vergangenen Folgen haben wir bereits über Lithium-Ionen-Akkus und Wasserstoffbatterien gesprochen; heute zeige ich euch eine Batterie, die super umweltfreundlich ist, weil sie eben nicht auf Materialien wie Lithium oder Cobalt setzt. Die Idee dahinter ist so simpel, dass man die Batterie fast zu Hause nachbauen kann.

Leistungsstarke Energiespeicher sind ein großes Problem, wenn es um die Umstellung auf erneuerbare Energien geht. Da in Deutschland die Speicherung mit Pumpspeichern begrenzt ist, wird auch immer wieder auf Akkus gesetzt.

Auf der Suche nach der perfekten Lösung sind Forschende auf eine Technologie gestoßen, die nicht unbedingt neu ist, aber ein bisschen in Vergessenheit geraten ist: die Zink-Luft-Batterie.
