It does not contain lithium and cobalt, but uses cheap and available materials such as manganese and metalloid oxide.
Boston-based Alsym Energy has created a budget rechargeable battery. Moreover, it is able to compete with lithium-ion batteries in performance. Interesting Engineering reports this.
The battery runs on water. So, it is also completely safe for the environment.
“This battery does not contain lithium and cobalt, but uses cheap and available materials such as manganese and metalloid oxide. Its electrolyte is water with organic salts, which provides ion conductivity and energy saving. Because here, the battery does not catch fire or explode , which saves fire protection costs and expands its application range,” said the developers.
The first to use such a battery was an automaker from India.
The battery will be used to create cheaper electric cars.
Recall that early researchers from Harvard created a unique battery.
