and runs at temperatures between 200 and 400 °C.

So it's not for a laptop.

Don’t miss this:

“The new battery concept is not intended for smartphones or electric cars, because the oxygen-ion battery only achieves about a third of the energy density that one is used to from lithium-ion batteries and runs at temperatures between 200 and 400 °C.”

While it may not match the energy density of lithium-ion batteries, its storage capacity doesn’t diminish irreversibly over time, making it capable of an exceptionally long lifespan as it can be regenerated.

That’s big, all by itself.

Having to throw away (er.... recycle) lithium batteries after 5 years or so is lame. So these batters may be a little bulkier, which could be annoying for smaller devices or hand power tools, but would be awesome if they lasted.

Oh my ,but it’s still a battery ,BLAH

The new battery concept is not intended for smartphones or electric cars, because the oxygen-ion battery only achieves about a third of the energy density that one is used to from lithium-ion batteries and runs at temperatures between 200 and 400 °C. The technology is, however, extremely interesting for storing energy.

Others have already pointed out these limitations, but my question is do the batteries require an outside heat source to maintain these operating temperatures, and if so then were will the energy for the heating come from?

[Tucker39]

Didn’t Musk recently inkle that he’s nearing completion of batteries wherein salt is the key element?

[SunkenCiv]

They first worked on a helium-ion battery, but the prototypes kept floating away.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

A bunch of white, western European males? It can’t be any good. Where’s the diversity on their team. Their team just isn’t as strong as it could be with diversity enhancements.

Besides, who would buy an Oxy-Ion battery? That’s a laundry detergent.

[SkyDancer]

There goes the current EV’s.

[AlaskaErik]

Every few weeks I see a story about a revolutionary new technology that will greatly increase EV range while charging up in a few minutes. Meanwhile, I’m still waiting for the 100 mpg carburetor I read about 60 years ago.

Meh.

Call me when I can buy a genuine Shipstone storage device.

...eliminates the need for rare elements, and solves the problem of fire hazards.

That scum George Soros might have gotten out of Tesla too soon... and TAKE THAT BIDEN AND YOUR CHINESE BENEFACTORS...NO MORE BEING DEPENDENT ON CHINA FOR RARE EARTH ELEMENTS...

[JimRed]

...runs at temperatures between 200 and 400 °C.

Does that mean it has to be heated TO 200-400C to operate, or that it heats up to 200-400C when operating? If the latter is the case the excess heat can be used to generate steam to drive a turbine generator, to partly recharge itself or run other applications.

[Salman]

If it’s really that good, the anti-electricity woo-woos will find a pretext to ban it.

[daniel1212]

Seems we hear of a new battery breakthrough every two months from somewhere, and never again from them

This new battery is a step backward as far as energy storage.
