Holy crap - and I thought 40% efficiency from the zinc air battery was
lousy.
Can a battery be made outta stuff that's highly reactive? Like aluminum
and bromine?
I guess that's the limiting factor with chemical batteries - heat. I
wonder if there's any way to reduce the heat output while pushing more
electrons?
Moin Chris,
Check out Ken Susslick's work with NiMH at the U of Chicago. He was
making some pretty outrageous claims for his micropowders. Last I
looked, he had not yet made any deals with a manufacturer, but that may
have changed. It looks like some of the manufacturers are beginning to
come up with solutions to the electrode problems. That may have been
what was hindering the progress with Susslick, I don't know.
