Non-flammable, cost-efficient, and effective battery. As the lithium-ion batteries that power most phones, laptops, and electric vehicles become increasingly fast-charging and high-performing, they also grow increasingly expensive and flammable.
In research published recently in Energy Storage Materials, a team of engineers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute demonstrated how they could – by using aqueous electrolytes instead of the typical organic electrolytes – assemble a substantially safer, cost-efficient battery that still performs well.
If you were to take a look inside a battery, you’d find two electrodes – an anode and a cathode...
