MIT’s New Battery Breakthrough: Fast, Safe & Affordable
MIT researchers have created a battery that costs just one-sixth of traditional lithium-ion options¹ and charges in under a minute. Made from aluminum, sulfur, and salt, it offers a safer, low-cost solution to renewable energy storage. Capable of hundreds of cycles without degrading, this battery could reshape home energy systems and EV charging. As we shift to sustainable energy, this innovation may be key to making green power more affordable and accessible. The Technology Behind the Innovation The new battery design employs three readily available materials: aluminum (as common as kitchen foil), sulfur (often a waste product from petroleum refining), …
