Improvements to a class of battery electrolyte first introduced in 2017 — liquefied gas electrolytes – could pave the way to a high-impact and long-sought advance for rechargeable batteries: replacing the graphite anode with a lithium-metal anode.

Wearable, rechargeable electronics that’ll outpace the Energizer Bunny and change the world.

University of Alberta, Canada chemists Jillian Buriak (pictured above in a photo by John Ulan), Jonathan Veinot and their team found that nano-sized silicon particles overcome a shortcoming of using silicon in lithium-ion batteries. The discovery could lead to a new lithium-ion battery design with ten times the capacity of current lithium-ion batteries. “We wanted to test how different sizes

This is the RMIT-developed proton battery connected to a voltmeter. The working prototype has an energy per unit mass already comparable with commercially-available lithium ion batteries. Credit: RMIT University Researchers from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia have demonstrated for the first time a working rechargeable “proton battery” that could re-wire how we power our homes, vehicles and devices. The rechargeable
