Revolutionary Aluminum Battery: Near-Forever Lifespan & Unmatched Safety
Scientists develop a game-changing aluminum solid-state battery with 99% capacity retention after 10,000 cycles. Explore its longevity, safety.
Imagine a battery that lasts pretty much forever, or at least in techie terms. Scientists from Peking University and the Beijing Institute of Technology may have moved us a giant leap closer to that dream. They have developed a new type of aluminum solid-state battery. It is delivering truly great results. Longevity Like Never Before The headline figure is astonishing. This battery prototype retains 99% of its initial capacity even after a staggering 10,000 charge cycles. Consider that. That's potentially decades of use in a smartphone or electric vehicle before any significant drop in battery life is noticed. Compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries, which degrade much faster, this is a game-changer. Safety and Stability Under Extreme Conditions Longevity is not all. Safety is also of huge concern with batteries. The aluminum design seems to excel here as well. During testing, the prototype showed resistance to punctures. Short circuits were easily handled. Even heating up to 10…
