Concrete ''battery'' now packs 10 times the power

In other words, the concrete around us could one day double as giant "batteries." As MIT researchers report in a new PNAS paper, optimized electrolytes and manufacturing processes have increased

Concrete "battery" developed at MIT now packs 10 times the power

Concrete already builds our world, and now it''s one step closer to powering it, too. Made by combining cement, water, ultra-fine carbon black (with nanoscale particles), and electrolytes,

Concrete ''battery'' now packs 10 times the power

Concrete is already the world''s most-used construction material, so why not take advantage of that scale to create other benefits?" asks Admir Masic, lead author of the new study, MIT Electron-Conducting
