Scientists from UNSW Chemistry have synthesized an organic material capable of storing protons and have demonstrated its use in a working rechargeable battery.
Proton Battery Advantages:
- Utilizes protons from water; avoids rare elements like lithium.
- Safer: Contains water-based electrolytes, eliminating explosion risks.
- Lightweight, affordable, and performs well in cold conditions.
Key Innovations:
- Developed by UNSW Sydney scientists.
- New anode material: Tetraamino-benzoquinone (TABQ).
- Features:
- Supports 3,500 recharge cycles.
- Maintains high capacity and operates efficiently in cold climates.
Challenges Ahead:
- Improve cathode material (Tetrachloro-benzoquinone, TCBQ) for higher voltage output.
- Reduce manufacturing costs for large-scale adoption.
Significance:
- A viable alternative to lithium-ion batteries, with potential to transform renewable energy storage and electric vehicles.

I do not even understand how I ended up here, but I assumed this publish used to be great
naturally like your web site however you need to take a look at the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth on the other hand I will surely come again again.
Hi there to all, for the reason that I am genuinely keen of reading this website’s post to be updated on a regular basis. It carries pleasant stuff.
Can you be more specific about the content of your article? After reading it, I still have some doubts. Hope you can help me.
You’re so awesome! I don’t believe I have read a single thing like that before. So great to find someone with some original thoughts on this topic. Really.. thank you for starting this up. This website is something that is needed on the internet, someone with a little originality!
