  • Korean researchers have extended lithium metal anodes' lifespan by 750 percent using water, marking a major breakthrough in battery technologies. The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) team's next-generation anode material aims at overcoming the performance limitations of commercial batteries.

Scientists at the University of Chicago have developed a new type of lithium battery that could last up to 750% longer than current models by using a water-based electrolyte. This breakthrough involves replacing the traditional organic solvent-based electrolytes with a water-in-salt electrolyte, which not only enhances the battery's lifespan but also improves safety by reducing the risk of fires and explosions associated with conventional lithium-ion batteries. The new electrolyte formulation allows for stable operation at higher voltages, which is crucial for increasing energy density. This innovation could significantly impact various applications, from electric vehicles to portable electronics, by providing longer-lasting and safer power sources. The research, published in the journal *Nature Energy*, highlights the potential for this technology to revolutionize energy storage solutions.
