140-year-old rusty batteries offer huge breakthrough for energy storage

New method could revolutionise energy storage for large-scale renewable operations

Scientists have discovered an alternative to costly and environmentally
damaging lithium-ion batteries – used in everything from smartphones to
electric cars – in the form of a 140-year old technology.

Iron-air batteries, first invented in 1878, hold a far higher energy density to
lithium-ion batteries at a fraction of the cost, however until now they have
impractical for recharging purposes due to rusting.

A team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology now claims to have

fine-tuned a process known as “reverse rusting” in order to allow the new
design to charge and discharge energy.

“Iron-air batteries can be commercially scaled up for energy storage and

help mitigate climate change by mid-century,” Yet-Ming Chiang, an
electrochemistry professor at MIT, told Popular Science.

“When you reverse the electrical current on the battery, it un-rusts the
battery. Depending on whether the battery is discharging or charging, the
electrons are either taken away from or added to the iron.”

The method allows the iron-air battery to deliver 100 hours of clean
electricity at a cost of $20 kilowatts per hour, compared to the $200
kilowatts per hour of lithium-ion batteries.

It is one of three types of metal-air batteries – alongside aluminium and

zinc – that use atmospheric oxygen as a cathode and the abundantly-
available metal as an anode.
They have been used commercially over the last century, for example in
hearing aids in the 1930s, and by Nasa in space systems in the 1960s,
however they proved largely impractical.

While it may be too late for the breakthrough to allow mass adoption for
consumer electronics and electric vehicles, Professor Chiang believe it could
revolutionise energy storage for large-scale renewable operations.

He has founded a startup, Form Energy, to further develop and

commercialise the technology, with the hope of rapidly pushing forward
zero carbon energy solutions.
