Researchers have discovered a revolutionary battery material derived from common rock silicates, potentially replacing lithium.

According to researchers, these rock silicates can be found in ordinary stones you pick up on the beach or in your garden.

Mohamad Khoshkalam, a researcher from the Technical University of Denmark, found that material based on rock silicates can be a good fit for a solid-state electrolyte. Extractable from silicates, this inexpensive, eco-friendly material has the potential to be utilized in a wide array of applications.“The first measurement with a battery component revealed that the material has a very good conductivity as a solid-state electrolyte. I cannot reveal how I developed the material, as the recipe and the method are now patented,” said Khoshkalam.
