Scientists make ‘significant’ breakthrough in EV battery production: ‘Great potential for future energy storage’
In the search for more sustainable and economically feasible solutions for battery packs and energy storage systems, scientists have turned to an abundant, cheaper and recyclable material which is showing promise as part of the elements needed to make battery charge / discharge cycles work. It is hoped that aluminium could help send costly, less sustainable and less environmentally friendly materials packing.
