Alternative chemistries could address one of the greatest concerns about lithium-ion batteries.
I’d be willing to bet that you probably haven’t spent much time thinking about the liquid that sloshes around inside batteries.
But this liquid—called the electrolyte—is one of their key ingredients, and it dictates a lot about how they work, as well as how safe they are. And I’ve seen a growing number of alternative battery makers talk about using an interesting ingredient in their electrolyte: water.
