OSU team demonstrates concept of potassium-air battery as alternative to lithium-air systems

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Ohio State University (OSU) have demonstrated the concept of a potassium-air (K?O contrast with LiO 2 and NaO 2 , KO 2 is thermodynamically stable and commercially available. Potassium, an alkali metal similar to lithium (and sodium) can be used in a rechargeable battery. For comparison, they built a Li?O

OSU smart membrane could enable new category of high-energy, high-power energy storage for EVs

Green Car Congress

A team at the Ohio State University has developed a membrane that regulates bi-directional ion transport across it as a function of its redox state and that could be used as a programmable smart membrane separator in future supercapacitors and redox flow batteries. plugin EVs to Tesla’s 85 kWh battery pack). —Herya and Sundaresan.
