A Glass Battery That Keeps Getting Better

(Spectrum had profiled him and his battery technology the year before, following an initial announcement about his group’s new glass battery.) Goodenough and collaborators claimed they’d developed a non-flammable lithium battery (whose electrolyte was based on a glass powder) that had twice the energy density of traditional lithium-ion batteries. Maria Helena Braga, associate professor and head of the engineering physics department at the University of Porto in Portugal, has been one of Goodenough’s chief collaborators in the spate of recent papers around the glass battery.
