Chinese researchers develop novel aluminum–graphite dual-ion battery

Green Car Congress

A team from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a novel, environmentally friendly low-cost battery. Compared with conventional LIBs, this battery (AGDIB) shows an advantage in production cost (~ 50% lower), specific density (~1.3-2.0
