High performance aluminium-ion batterypromises great advantages for electronic devices

摘要

Researchers at Stanford University inCalifornia have created a fast-chargingand long-lasting rechargeable batterythat is inexpensive to produce, and whichthey claim could replace many of thelithium-ion and alkaline batteries poweringtoday's electronics, such as in mobilephones. The prototype aluminium-ionbattery is also safer, not bursting intoflames as some of its lithium-ion competitorscan do.
