A material found in crab and shrimp shells ,usually thrown out by the seafood trade, was made into a gel and used as the working fluid inside a zinc battery. The zinc anode ran for more than 1,000 cycles at 99.7 percent Coulombic efficiency. https://share.google/uNACXdVMCmsLB0lsy #crabs #shrimp #seafood #batteries #science
