New Lithium Battery Chemistry Lasts Far Longer

January 9, 2018 | 2 Comments

Northwestern University researchers have found a way to make a lithium battery last longer with more capacity and cheaper. The team used iron and oxygen to simultaneously drive the electrochemical reaction. Experience suggests Christopher Wolverton’s super lithium-rich battery should not work. For one, the novel battery uses iron, an inexpensive metal that has notoriously failed […]
