A New Battery Technology Breakthrough
Renewable energy research: the new potassium-oxygen battery for clean energy storage
15 May 2019 (SciTech Europa)
“…Researchers have built a more efficient, more reliable potassium-oxygen battery, a step toward a potential solution for energy storage on the nation’s power grid and longer-lasting batteries in cell phones and laptops…Oxygen batteries have higher energy density, which means they can improve the range of electric vehicles and battery life of portable electronics…though other challenges must be overcome…
