University of Glasgow: New Development Could Help Deliver Improved Potassium-Ion Batteries
https://www.gla.ac.uk/news/headline_1122851_en.htmlNew Development Could Help Deliver Improved Potassium-Ion Batteries
Published: 1 November 2024
A breakthrough in material science could help deliver a new generation of affordable batteries.
A breakthrough in material science could help deliver a new generation of affordable batteries, scientists say.
An international team of researchers led by chemists from the University of Glasgow and battery testing experts at Helmholtz Institute Ulm have implemented a material made from chromium and selenium in a potassium-ion battery.
The discovery brings the batteries a step closer to becoming a viable alternative to lithium-ion systems, thanks to the abundant availability of potassium and its advantageous material properties like rapid charging.
Experts believe that the batteries could be cheaper and easier to manufacture in the future than lithium-ion batteries, opening up applications including the storage of electricity generated from renewable sources.
