Chinese Scientists Develop Long-Lasting Non-Toxic Water-Based Battery
STRATEGIC MINERALS
A team of Chinese scientists has created a long-lasting, environmentally friendly battery using organic electrodes and a non-toxic electrolyte. This water-based battery is safe for disposal, unlike conventional lithium-ion batteries that require hazardous waste processing. The new batteries are cheaper to produce and eliminate flammability risks, making them suitable for electric vehicles and grid storage.
