To create the solid electrolyte, the researchers introduced an inert aluminum fluoride salt to the liquid electrolyte already containing aluminum ions.

Now, researchers reporting in ACS Central Science have designed a cost-effective and environment-friendly aluminum-ion (Al-ion) battery that could fit the bill. Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are in ...

ABC Science took three packaging products that are common and relatively easy to recycle — glass bottles, aluminium cans and PET plastic bottles — to see just how much of each makes it through ...
