This Simple Salt Fix Makes Batteries Last 10x Longer. Here’s How

Water was silently sabotaging battery performance until scientists added salt. By stabilizing the structure of water, sulfate salts stopped harmful chemical reactions and extended battery life by 10x. The fix is simple, scalable, and could reshape green energy storage. Breakthrough in Aqueous Battery Lifespan Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST; Saudi [...]
