Using water-salt solution as an electrolyte, a team of specialists from the US Army Research Laboratory developed a battery that does not ignite even with several punctures. Its capacity is enough for electronic devices used in everyday life.
It was possible to increase the voltage to 4 V due to the polymer coating of the anode. A special gel not only guarantees operation safety, but also increases energy density-development indicators are several times better than the existing Li-Ion water batteries.
In the meantime, scientists continue to improve their invention, in particular, they plan to increase the number of full work cycles from 50-100 to 500 or more, as well as reduce the cost of development. According to their forecasts, in free sale, the novelty may well appear by 2023.
