Scientists in the U.S. developed an aluminum battery that demonstrates better than 99.5% reversibility, and could offer "up to 10,000 error-free cycles". By incorporating a substrate of carbon fibers into the anode design, the group gained better control over chemical bonds that form as the battery charges, leading to greatly improved performance.With the potential for higher storage capacity than today's commercial battery technologies, and reliance on cheaper, more abundant materials, aluminum-based batteries have long been attractive to scientists. Issues with shelf life and cyclability, however, ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
