University of Surrey Breakthrough in Lithium–CO₂ Batteries Offers Dual Benefits of Energy Storage and Carbon Capture

CHRONICLE: To manage cuts in climate emissions as expected, we must succeed in capturing and safely and permanently storing CO₂. The Energy Capital and Norway can take an important role in developing and commercializing the capture, storage and use of CO₂.

University of Surrey researchers develop ‘breathing’ batteries

SCIENTISTS at the University of Surrey have developed “breathing” batteries that use novel catalyst technology to generate power while simultaneously capturing CO2.

Scientists are currently exploring an innovative lithium battery that integrates carbon dioxide from the ambient air. This battery is not only more durable, but can also be used without expensive precious metals.
