Innovative Calcium-Ion Battery Design Offers High Performance Without Lithium

Researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have developed a new calcium-ion battery (CIB) that utilizes a quasi-solid-state electrolyte to enhance ion transport and stability. This advancement could make CIBs a viable alternative to lithium-ion batteries, addressing concerns about lithium resource limitations. The new design demonstrates strong performance over 1,000 charge cycles, suggesting potential applications in renewable energy and electric vehicles.
