[font size=4]Sunlight makes the new 'aqueous solar flow' battery 20 percent more efficient than today's lithium-iodine batteries[/font]
Ohio State University
[font size=3]COLUMBUS, Ohio--After debuting the world's first solar air battery last fall, researchers at The Ohio State University have now reached a new milestone.
In the Journal of the American Chemical Society, they report that their patent-pending design--which combines a solar cell and a battery into a single device--now achieves a 20 percent energy savings over traditional lithium-iodine batteries.
...
"We hope to motivate the research community to further develop this technology into a practical renewable energy solution," he added.
The team's ultimate goal is to boost the solar cell's contribution to the battery past its current 20 percent--maybe even to 100 percent.
