| It's true. We're on the left yet we pretend coal-powered energy is any solution to pollution. Stop the corporations and polluters without falling for lies about carbon to fund a new capitalist market to trade "right to pollute credits." Electric cars, because of rare earth minerals and the way electricity are generated and their shorter lifespan and very expensive battery packs are far worse for environment and consumers. |

Researchers have discovered how to massively boost the capacity and performance of an eco-friendly alternative to the batteries found in electric cars and smartphones.
The breakthrough is expected to accelerate the commercialization of organic electrode-based batterie, which are both cheaper and more environmentally friendly than standard lithium-ion batteries.
“The potential of organic electrodes in lithium-ion batteries is highlighted by their cost-effectiveness and natural abundance,” a paper detailing the research noted.

| Now we can save the environment and Gaia! |
A team from Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) and Hanyang University in South Korea figured out how to overcome the limitations associated with organic electrode materials, which have previously hampered their development and adoption.
Previously, such batteries were unable to keep more than 50 per cent of their capacity after just 20 charging cycles, but a new technique using diluted electrolytes allowed the battery to retain more than 91 per cent of its capacity after more than 1,000 charging cycles.
“This study represents a major step towards practical applications of organic electrode-based batteries,” said Professor Won-Jin Kwak at the School of Energy and Chemical Engineering at UNIST. More:
