Researchers make a breakthrough in development of eco-friendly organic electrode-based batteries
Researchers at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) and Hanyang University in South Korea have made a breakthrough in enhancing the capacity and performance of organic electrode-based batteries, which could serve as eco-friendly alternatives to standard lithium-ion batteries. The innovation addresses the issue of the dissolution of the active material in the electrolyte that has hindered the commercialization of these batteries. By using diluted electrolytes, the researchers achieved a significant improvement, allowing the battery to retain over 91% of its capacity after more than 1,000 charging cycles, marking a major step towards practical applications of organic electrode-based batteries.
