energy storage

A graphic illustration of the properties of the titanium-air battery, in the style of the periodic table of the chemical elements, with the unique electrical and energetic characteristics and properties of the innovative battery. This is how the researchers and developers of the titanium-air battery envision it: removing the oxide protective layer on top of titanium is likened in their eyes to the old Titan, full of tremendous energy but imprisoned in a dark cave for ages. The group of scientists discovered a way to break through the "passive" barrier and release the energy stored in the one-eyed giant - the chemical energy stored in it turns, in the structure of the innovative battery, into electrical energy.

The innovative composition, developed at Rice University, is a first step towards the development of charging devices capable of charging electric batteries and accumulators at a speed that is 20 times faster than what exists today.
