Jülich, ORNL researchers advance high energy density iron-air batteries

Green Car Congress

A deeper understanding of the charging and discharging reactions is viewed as the key for the further development of this type of rechargeable battery to market maturity. — Dr. Hermann Tempel from Jülich’s Institute of Energy and Climate Research (IEK-9). It was previously assumed that the deposition is reversed during charging.
