Multivalent Metals – Potential Game Changer for Lithium Ion Batteries

Guest Contributor — Tue, 19 Sep 2017 18:26:55 +0000

As we develop more advanced mobile technology, as well as electric vehicles, batteries become increasingly important to our society. Lithium-ion batteries are currently the most commonly used, and the most dependable energy storage cells commercially available. However, it is unlikely that this technology will remain unchanged in the years to come. The whole world has […]

A new zinc-air battery with a redesigned and cheap catalyst has been brewed at Stanford – it could one day rival lithium ion batteries and come much cheaper. “With ample supply of oxygen from the atmosphere, metal-air batteries have drastically higher theoretical energy density than either traditional aqueous batteries or lithium-ion batteries. Among them, zinc-air […]

Because they're proposed to be used in hybrid and electric cars in the near future, it's an important issue to deal with if we want to have lower maintenance costs and, generally speaking, greener batteries, because of prolonged lifetime. Some Ohio State University researchers did an experiment to see why the batteries lose their original capabilities.
