New Lithium Battery Captures Carbon Dioxide as a Useful Product

Matthew Fiala — Mon, 01 Oct 2018 19:23:48 +0000

A new battery could be made partly from carbon dioxide captured from power plants. This battery could continuously convert carbon dioxide into a solid mineral carbonate as it discharges. Although this concept is only based on early-stage research, the new battery formulation could open up new avenues that ultimately help reduce the emission of greenhouse […]

A spinoff company from Arizona State University is planning to develop a metal-air battery which unlike lithium-ion batteries has an energy density 11 times greater, for less than one-third the cost. Last week, the US Department of Energy awarded a $5.13-million research grant to Scottsdale, AZ-based Fluidic Energy. This company hopes that its ultra-dense energy storage technology to become reality.
