Proton battery effectively used cheap carbon instead of lithium
shaoran2012The global energy system in dire need revolutionary energy storage, which will replace outdated in all respects, but so far no alternative to mass use of lithium-ion batteries. Another candidate for this role, the efforts of scientists from Melbourne, became the so-called “proton battery”, the combination of fuel cells and chemical batteries. The basis of design are the modified electrodes of carbon, e.g., graphene with its high absorbent capacity. Plus the cell membrane, which allows you to split ordinary water into oxygen and hydrogen, whose ions are immediately absorbed by […]
