Aluminum-anode batteries offer sustainable alternative | Cornell Chronicle – Cornell Chronicle
Cornell researchers are using low-cost aluminum to create a rechargeable battery that is safer, less expensive and more sustainable than lithium-ion batteries.
The cost of harvesting solar energy has dropped so much in recent years that its giving traditional energy sources a run for their money. However, the challenges of energy storage which require the capacity to bank an intermittent and seasonally variable supply of solar energy have kept the technology from being economically competitive.
Cornell researchers led by Lynden Archer, the Joseph Silbert Dean of Engineering and the James A. Friend Family Distinguished Professor of Engineering, have been…
