(GIST OF SCIENCE REPORTER) Fireproof and Durable Oxygen-ion Battery

(June-2023)

Fireproof and Durable Oxygen-ion Battery

• Researchers from the Vienna University of Technology have developed an oxygen-ion battery that is fireproof, durable, and can store large amounts of energy.
• The researchers used ceramic material — ceramics are not flammable preventing fire accidents as compared to the lithium-ion battery. Additionally, there is no need for rare elements, which are expensive and also have a harmful environmental effect. 
• Their most important advantage is their durability. According to the researchers, while conventional ion batteries get discharged with usage, these oxygen-ion batteries can be easily charged through atmospheric oxygen.
