Stanford develops aluminum battery that takes 1 minute to charge

Scientists have invented the first high-performance aluminum battery that’s fast-charging, long-lasting, and inexpensive.

"We have developed a rechargeable aluminum battery that may replace existing storage devices, such as alkaline batteries, which are bad for the environment, and lithium-ion batteries, which occasionally burst into flames," says Hongjie Dai, a professor of chemistry at Stanford University. "Our new battery won’t catch fire, even if you drill through it."
