Dedication to a research journey towards commercial aqueous batteries - EurekAlert
<p>Whenever XIE talks about his research work, his eyes light up with passion. Research is the most meaningful aspects of his life for XIE.</p> <p>"I have been dedicated to the solution to a problem for the past three years, which is how to improve the energy density of aqueous batteries," XIE said.</p> <p>Aqueous batteries are mainly used for large-scale stationary energy storage. They use water as the solvent for the electrolyte, which greatly improves battery safety compared with traditional non-aqueous lithium-ion batteries. However, challenges are, their low energy density and low battery voltage due to the limited solubility of electrolytes.</p>
