This could be the end of battery fires and protect battery supply from geopolitical risks.
Researchers at Texas A&M University in the U.S. have been exploring metal-free water-based battery electrodes that could one day be used for a wide range of applications, in place of the lithium-ion batteries popular today.
. While the U.S. has ambitious plans to go shift to this cleaner way of transportation, it is also well aware of its shortcomings in this area.Critical components of lithium-ion batteries such as lithium and cobalt are largely imported into the U.S. exposing the entire segment to significant risk if in case of geopolitical tensions escalate. Researchers at Texas A&M University are one of the many groups supported by the U.S.
The research group has relied on computational simulation and analysis for their findings and obtained insights about structures and dynamics at a microscopic molecular scale, a press release said.
