Researchers at Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) have developed an oxygen-ion battery with a storage capacity that doesn't decrease over time, leading to an extremely long lifespan compared to other batteries.
This battery can be produced without rare metals and could be used for in large energy storage systems, e.g., to store electrical energy from renewable sources.
