A study has been published in the journal Matter on Thursday. (Representational Photo)Scientists from University of Maryland in the United States have discovered a unique chemical present in crustaceans like crabs and lobsters that can be used to create sustainable batteries to store energy. They have used the chemical to create the batteries known as chitin that makes up a large portion of crustaceans' structural framework, said a report in Newsweek.The study titled "A sustainable chitosan-zinc electrolyte for high-rate zinc-metal batteries" has been published in Journal Matter on Thursday. This was led by Professor Liangbing Hu from the University of Maryland."We think both biodegradability of material, or environmental impact, and the performance of the batteries are important ...
