TGN - New Batteries For A New World

We're getting there, all together!

First of all, let me thank you!

36,565 of you have read my newsletter since the first issue 3 months ago.

That is an impressive 62.51% opening rate which is absolutely mind-boggling.

That's why I thank every single one of you 23,349 people who have subscribed.

Thank you for making it happen twice a week.

Now, here are today's Good News!

Researchers at Oregon State University have made a breakthrough in battery technology by developing an iron-based cathode for lithium-ion batteries. This innovation can potentially replace expensive and less sustainable materials like cobalt and nickel, significantly reducing production costs and enhancing the environmental friendliness of batteries. Iron is abundant and much cheaper, making it an ideal alternative that does not compromise energy density or safety.

This new technology promises to lower the cost of batteries, which is crucial as the demand for electric vehicles and other battery-powered devices continues to grow. By leveraging iron, these new batteries could make sustainable energy solutions more accessible, paving the way for a greener future. This advancement not only highlights the potential of innovative materials in creating efficient energy storage but also marks a significant step toward more sustainable and affordable battery technology.

Have a smiling rest of the week - see you on Thursday
