ZenQuo

ZenQuo is a UNSW spinout focused on zinc-ion battery technology. Led by Dr. Dipan Kundu and Dr. Priyank Kumar from UNSW Chemical Engineering, ZenQuo is tackling challenges in rechargeable zinc batteries through innovative electrolyte additives and a new cathode design.

Their goal is to extend cycle life while maintaining sustainability. By 2026, the team aims to have a high-capacity pouch cell prototype ready for market.

ZenQuo’s zinc-ion battery technology offers significant cost savings for consumers while providing a safe, fire-free energy storage solution. Designed for homes and e-scooters, it delivers a reliable and affordable alternative to conventional batteries, making clean energy more accessible without compromising safety or performance.
