Korea Institute of Energy Research has made headlines for battery innovations.

The latest aqueous-zinc invention promises to be safe, cheap, and "theoretically" store twice as much energy as traditional lithium-ion batteries.

Lead researcher Jung-Je Woo says his team's achievement provides a low-cost solution with high potential.

Better batteries are key to expediting the adoption of cleaner electric vehicles and grid storage.
