Researchers develop a rechargeable battery that runs on vitamin B-12
A team from the University of Córdoba has employed Vitamin B12 as a catalyst in the development of a rechargeable battery. It consists of a zinc-air battery that incorporates cobalamin, which is anchored to single-walled carbon nanotubes.
Quick read
A University of Córdoba team used vitamin B12 (cobalamin) anchored to single-walled carbon nanotubes as the catalyst in a prototype rechargeable zinc-air battery. Visitors would read about a biomolecule-based, rechargeable battery achieving up to 250 cycles and its potential as a safer, more sustainable alternative to lithium-ion batteries.
- Vitamin B12 anchored to carbon nanotubes acts as an oxygen reduction/evolution catalyst
- Prototype zinc-air cell reached up to 250 charge-discharge cycles
- Uses aqueous electrolyte and abundant zinc for lighter, safer batteries
