Potassium-driven rechargeable batteries: An effort toward a more sustainable environment
(PHYSorg.com Chemistry)

Our modern lifestyle would be immensely different without rechargeable batteries. Owing to their low-cost, recyclable technology, these batteries are used in most portable electronic devices, electric and hybrid vehicles, and renewable power generation systems. They offer an elegant solution to the world`s growing energy demands. Moreover, rechargeable batteries are an essential tool in systems that harvest renewable energy, such as the wind and sunlight, because these sources can fluctuate greatly with the weather. Rechargeable batteries store generated electricity and dispatch it on demand. Thus, researchers globally have been focused on improving rechargeable batteries as a step toward sustainable energy resources.
