Proton Battery, A Game Changer?

[Arthur Hanson]

Cheap proton batteries compete with lithium on energy density

RMIT engineers say they've tripled the energy density of cheap, rechargeable, recyclable proton flow batteries, which can now challenge commercially available lithium-ion batteries for capacity with a specific energy density of 245 Wh/kg.

This is just one step in new battery technologies that is just in its infancy really. The number of technologies to store and transfer energy of many types and forms will only increase and improve at an accelerating rate. AI/ML will not only help find and develop new methods of dealing with power but also how to use it much more efficiently. I use the thermal mass of my house to reduce my use of air conditioning by about 80% and some days by 100%. I wish I had an AI/ML system to do all the calculations on a real time basis. It would be a relatively simple system. We spend to much time fighting nature than working with it. Any thoughts or comments appreciated.

Proton as in a hydrogen ion... this is a rebranded fuel cell.
