The Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) has made a new breakthrough in the form of regenerative oxygen-ion batteries, which have the potential to replace lithium-ion batteries in various key applications. Challenges with Lithium-Ion Batteries The nervy storage device like the lithium-ion batteries suffers from several issues, including overheating that can lead to fires and a decline in effectiveness over time. A significant amount of water is required for the production of lithium batteries, with one ton of lithium obtained through mining requiring 2.2 million gallons of water, causing adverse effects on communities near the mines, such as Salar de … Continue reading Next-Generation Oxygen-Ion Battery Energy Storage: A Groundbreaking Alternative to Lithium-Ion Technology
