New 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, 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.
