Source: China – South China Morning PostChinese scientists have created a new type of battery that uses hydrogen ions to store and release energy, which could offer a safer alternative to conventional lithium-based batteries.
The rechargeable, room-temperature stable battery was made possible using a rare earth-based battery electrolyte that harnesses hydride ions, or negatively charged hydrogen ions.
Experimental data shows that the battery’s specific capacity – or the amount of electrical charge it can store per unit of mass or…Read More
