Tech News 1: More research needed to correct the paradox of sustainable batteries

[bob_turner]

Electric vehicles, powered by renewable energy instead of finite fossil fuels, are the best green choice—but they could be more sustainable. The most common power source in electric vehicles and portable electronics, lithium-ion batteries rely on an expensive and scarce metal to work. To spur more research into a more abundant and much cheaper alternative, magnesium, researchers in China assessed the current state of research and offered potential paths forward to achieve more sustainable batteries.
