A new bidirectional catalyst developed by researchers at Tsinghua University in China could advance the development of lithium-carbon dioxide (Li-CO2) batteries. Capable of powering rovers, these batteries could help turn emissions into a resource that could be used on Mars and beyond.
Lithium-ion batteries are an important component in our transition to cleaner and greener economies without carbon emissions. The battery capable of delivering the highest energy density is used to power electric vehicles and store renewable energy for later use.
