Univ. of Missouri team progressing with convection battery; enabling rechargeable lithium-metal batteries

Green Car Congress

The Li / Support is the electrode made possible with the convection battery technology. Researchers at the University of Missouri led by Prof. Galen Suppes say that they have further developed and validated the “convection battery” or “convection cell” technology originally announced in 2011 and 2012 ( earlier post ).
