Potassium-oxygen batteries have been a potential alternative for energy storage since they were invented in 2013. A team of researchers from Ohio State, led by chemistry professor Yiying Wu, showed ...

New research published in the journal Batteries and Supercaps details the batteries of the future: potassium-oxygen batteries with more storage and longer lives that could be used in cell-phones, ...

Researchers have built a more efficient, more reliable potassium-oxygen battery, a step toward a potential solution for energy storage on the nation's power grid and longer-lasting batteries in cell ...

Many metals react with oxygen to form metal oxides. Potassium and sodium are soft metal which are easily cut exposing a shiny surface which changes to dull rapidly. The change from shiny to dull is ...
