MIT Develops Deep-Sea Aluminium Anode Battery

MIT Develops Deep-Sea Aluminium Anode Battery

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a safer, more efficient underwater battery using aluminium. MIT spinout Open Water Power (OWP) invented the aluminium anode battery for use in unpiloted underwater vehicles (UUV). Intended as a replacement for lithium-ion batteries, the aluminium-based batteries are expected to increase the range of most UUVs by […]
