Univ. of Texas researchers propose lithium- or sodium-water batteries as next generation of high-capacity battery technology; applicable for EVs and grid storage

Green Car Congress

Example of a lithium-water rechargeable battery. Researchers at the University of Texas, including Dr. John Goodenough, are proposing a strategy for high-capacity next-generation alkali (lithium or sodium)-ion batteries using water-soluble redox couples as the cathode. In theory, the decomposition potential of water is 4.27

This in turn causes a reduction in nighttime winds that would otherwise blow pollutants out to sea. In addition, built structures interfere with local winds and contribute to relatively stagnant afternoon weather conditions. Fei and his colleagues focused on wind patterns, which are driven by temperature contrasts between land and sea.
