Engineers in Melbourne are at the forefront of the global race to develop an affordable rechargeable battery for solar energy storage that doesn’t rely on scarce natural resources. The innovative ‘proton battery’ might one day power our homes, vehicles, and gadgets without the environmental challenges posed by lithium-ion batteries. RMIT University has secured international patents for the latest advancements in this groundbreaking technology. The battery’s design uses a carbon electrode to store hydrogen derived from water, subsequently functioning as a hydrogen fuel cell to generate electricity. RMIT’s collaboration with the Italian-based automotive component supplier, Eldor Corporation, spans five years, aiming … Continue reading Melbourne Engineers Unveil the Next-Tech: The Proton Battery Revolution!
