CELL-LEVEL EVOLUTION
HOW LONG HAVE WE DEBATED ALTERNATIVE POWER? From solar, wind, and hydro for electricity generation to hydrogen fuel cells and what not, everything has been under the scanner. Conventional batteries aren’t the solution. Their production is unclean and environmentally devastating, they’re expensive to produce and run and, after their life is done, they’re not easy to reuse or dispose of either. It’s really a no-win situation on many counts. However, post-lithium technology or, rather, the evolution of the cell may be just the solution we need.
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) are
