Chinese scientists have developed a water-based battery that features organic electrodes and a non-toxic electrolyte, comparable in safety to tofu brine. This battery is environmentally friendly and poses no disposal hazards, unlike lithium-ion batteries which involve toxic waste processing.

The new battery design reduces the risk of flammability and is more cost-effective for applications like electric vehicles and grid storage. The research highlights exceptional long-term cycling stability and environmental benefits under neutral conditions, as published in Nature Communications.
