Novel Aluminum-Ion Battery: Flexible, Safe and Eco-Friendly

In September 2025, Indian scientists developed a novel aluminum-ion battery that is not only flexible—able to fold like paper—but also safe and environmentally friendly.

This innovation addresses key limitations of conventional lithium-ion batteries, which are prone to overheating and explosions.
