An ecofriendly, high performance, organic battery from UNSW.
This is just one of a series of alternatives to lithium batteries now in the late-stages of contemporary research.
“A team of scientists at UNSW Chemistry are developing an eco-friendly, high-performance organic battery that utilises protons.
By leveraging hydrogen ions – protons – instead of traditional lithium, these batteries hold promise for addressing some of the critical challenges in modern energy storage, including resource scarcity, environmental impact, safety and cost.
The material – tetraamino-benzoquinone (TABQ) – developed by PhD candidate Sicheng Wu and Professor Chuan Zhao, in collaboration with UNSW Engineering and ANSTO, has the ability to store energy quickly, last longer, and perform well under sub-zero conditions. “
