Lessons from the sea: Nature shows us how to get 'forever chemicals' out of batteries
As the world races to electrify everything from cars to cities, the demand for high-performance, long-lasting batteries is soaring. But the uncomfortable truth is this: many of the batteries powering our "green" technologies aren't as green as we might think.
Lessons from the sea: Nature shows us how to get ‘forever chemicals’ out of batteries
As the world races to electrify everything from cars to cities, the demand for high-performance, long-lasting batteries is soaring. But the uncomfortable truth is this: many of the batteries powering our “green” technologies aren’t as green as we might think. Most commercial batteries rely on fluorinated polymer binders to hold them together, such as polyvinylidene fluoride. These materials perform well — they’re chemically stable, resistant to …
