New generation batteries help promote sustainable energy storage

Researchers from Oregon State University (OSU) have developed the world's first battery that uses only hydronium ions (H3O +) as a charged particle.

The development of this advanced battery is expected to open the door to the hope of storing powerful and sustainable power.

The battery opens up opportunities for researchers to find new ways to find new alternatives to energy storage.

Hydronium , also known as H3O + , is a positively charged ion made when a proton is added to a molecule of water.

Scientists from OSU have shown that H3O + can be stored in an electrode device, such as the pentylene diethyl ether , or PTCDA . This makes the battery more durable.

In addition, these batteries do not use lithium or sodium and potassium to carry electricity, but use only acid as an electrolyte.

Due to the abundance of acid in nature, this type of battery will be highly renewable and durable.

Scientists say that although the battery can not be used in electric cars, it opens up opportunities for researchers to take a new approach in finding a new alternative to storing energy. Especially the batteries used in storage are taken from alternative energy sources such as wind and solar energy, used for redundancy or emergencies.
