New design points a path to the ‘ultimate’ battery
Researchers have successfully demonstrated how several of the problems impeding the practical development of the so-called ‘ultimate’ battery could be overcome.

A highly efficient biomaterial has been created that catalyzes the formation of hydrogen — one half of the ‘holy grail’ of splitting water to make hydrogen and oxygen for fueling cheap and efficient cars that run on water.
New findings have overturned a scientific dogma that stood for decades, by showing that potassium can work with graphite in a potassium-ion battery — a discovery that could pose a challenge and more sustainable, less costly alternative to the widely used lithium-ion battery.
