“Silicate Magic” – Researchers Unlock Key to Cheaper and More Efficient Batteries

A WPI research team has improved iron-based alkaline batteries by adding silicate, preventing hydrogen gas formation during charging. The world is swiftly shifting toward renewable energy, but challenges remain. Solar power is unavailable at night, and wind energy fluctuates unpredictably. To address these gaps, new technologies are needed to store excess energy from the grid [...]
