A team of researchers have located a novel energy storage mechanism that may potentially achieve the elusive rechargeability of calcium-air batteries.
The collaborative effort between scientists from the University of Liverpool and the National Tsing Hua University has developed a unique energy storage mechanism that may possibly realise the rechargeability capacity of calcium-air batteries, a process that has proved to be incredibly challenging.

Their research is published in the journal Chemical Science.

The newly discovered energy storage mechanism is described by the researchers as a trapped interfacial redox – a neoteric component of energy storage that resides at the electrode interface – a breakthrough in energy that has a vast array of potential applications in everyday devices.
