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. The present sodium-sulfur battery operates above 300 °C.

The researchers hope that this strategy could help to engineer an improved anode material in next-generation batteries. Graphite contains flat layers of carbon atoms, and during battery charging, lithium atoms are stored between these layers in a process called intercalation. This offers several benefits.

As described in an open access paper in the journal NPG Asia Materials , the system is an intermediate between a battery and a fuel cell, and is accordingly referred to as a hybrid fuel cell. Sodium can serve as an alternative to lithium in rechargeable batteries as the reversible storage mechanisms for sodium ions are very similar (e.g.,
