Blog - New "Ultra-Battery" as Energy-Dense as High Explosives
Under Pressure WSU chemist Choong-Shik Yoo and students have used super-high pressures to create a compact material capable of storing vast amounts of energy. Washington State UniversityMaterial is called "the most condensed form of energy storage outside of nuclear" With lackluster battery tech one of the biggest hurdles standing between existing energy economies and those of the green, renewable future, there's a lot of pressure on researchers to come up with the next big battery breakthrough. And pressure, it turns out, might be just the ticket. By exerting the kinds of super-high pressures found deep within the Earth on a unique compound, researchers at Washington State University's Pullman campus have created a novel new material with the capacity to store huge amounts of mechanical energy as potential chemical power. Calling the material "the most condensed form of energy storage outside of nuclear energy," the researchers created the super-battery inside a diamond anvil cell, a small chambe
