A New Spark in Energy Science: Researchers Build First Hydride-Ion Battery Prototype
Hydride ions (H⁻), known for their exceptionally low mass and high redox potential, have long intrigued scientists as potential charge carriers for next-generation electrochemical devices. Their unique properties suggest the possibility of batteries that are lighter, safer, and more energy-dense than current lithium-based technologies. Yet despite this promise, practical applications of hydride ions have been limited by one major challenge — the absence of electrolytes that c
