Liquid Battery
Donald Sadoway, a materials chemistry professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has developed a liquid battery that could store enough electricity to allow cities to run on solar power at night.
A faculty member in the Department of Materials Science Engineering, he is a noted expert on batteries and has done significant research on how to improve the performance and longevity of portable power sources.
His research aims to establish the scientific underpinnings for technologies that make efficient use of energy and natural resources in an environmentally sound manner.
