Researchers Take A Step Toward Carbon-Capturing Lithium Batteries
26 May 2025 | Abstracted from Fast Company
Li-CO2 batteries could be a two-in-one solution to the current problems of storing renewable energy and taking carbon emissions out of the air. They absorb carbon dioxide and convert it into a white powder called lithium carbonate while discharging energy.
"...scientists noticed something interesting about this CO2 contamination: It improved the battery's amount of charge...the technology has a few issues. The batteries don''t last very long."
