Chemistry Found For Not Burn Not Explode Lithium Batteries

September 12, 2017 | 4 Comments

Researchers at the University of Maryland and the U.S. Army Research Laboratory have developed a lithium-ion battery that uses a water-salt solution as its electrolyte. The chemistry solution also reaches the 4.0 volt mark desired for household electronics, such as laptop computers, without the fire and explosive risks associated with some commercially available non-aqueous lithium-ion […]
