RIKEN team develops high-performance lithium-iodine battery system with higher energy density than conventional Li-ion

Green Car Congress

Accordingly, new battery systems using new chemistries and system configurations are needed, which are capable of achieving higher energy density than the current ones.The alternative to make a less problematic storage system [than lithium-sulfur or lithium-O 2 ] is aqueous lithium batteries.
