Stumbling across a battery breakthroughThe breakthrough method for antimony came while the MIT team was in the process of trying to develop a new battery system. For years, the lab had been working on a variety of chemical formulations for all-liquid, high-temperature storage batteries.Different parts of these batteries are composed of molten metal or salts and as they have different densities they form separate layers. Sadoway said the team was investigating the utility of putting a second electrolyte between the positive and negative electrodes of the liquid battery when it found that, instead of charging the battery, “we were in fact producing liquid antimony instead”.
Just looking at this topic as I knew nothing.
