Water-Based Batteries Store More Energy in Iodine with New Electrolyte Design

Water-based battery keeps nearly all its capacity over 1,000 cycles

Researchers enabled iodine to transfer four electrons in water-based batteries, boosting its storage capacity for potential use on the grid.

Water-based batteries store more energy in iodine with new electrolyte design

New chemistry developed by a UCL-led team could increase the energy capacity of aqueous (water-based) batteries—a step forward for a safer, more sustainable alternative to lithium-ion batteries.

New chemistry could help safer water-based batteries store more energy

A new chemical design could help water-based batteries store more energy, bringing researchers closer to safer options for storing electricity from wind and solar power. Scientists led by University College London found a way to increase the energy stored using iodine without relying on highly corrosive battery liquids. The advance could eventually help large energy-storage […]
