Lilly Matson
An eco-friendly, high-performance organic battery is being developed by scientists at UNSW Sydney.
A team of scientists at UNSW Chemistry have successfully developed an organic material that is able to store protons – and they have used it to create a rechargeable proton battery in the lab.
By leveraging hydrogen ions – protons – instead of traditional lithium, these batteries hold promise for addressing some of the critical challenges in modern energy storage, including resource scarcity, environmental impact, safety and cost.
The latest findings, recently published in the journal Angewandte Chemie,, highlight the battery’s ability to store energy quickly, last longer, and perform well under sub-zero conditions.
