Researchers invent revolutionary new batteries, which are cleaner, safer and last longer than Li-ion.
According to a press release by the Vienna University of Technology, oxygen-ion battery don’t face the same aging problem that lithium batteries do. This means they can remain effective for an incredibly extended period of time.
These batteries can be made from incombustible material and do not require the same rare materials as lithium ones. This means that they will have a much smaller environmental impact and won’t explode spontaneously if mishandled.
Alexander Schmid, Institute for Chemical Technologies at TU Wien, said: \”You have the problem in many batteries that the charge carriers cannot move after a certain point.\” The battery’s capacity decreases when the charge carriers can no longer generate electricity. This can be a problem after many charging cycles.
