How to make the first-ever lithium-ion battery with phosphorus electron, a 3D material that can be made at home using a cheap computer

The battery’s electrical properties are quite different from other types of lithium-air batteries, but the fact that they can store enough energy to power a phone for months is significant.

A key problem in developing these batteries is that they need a large amount of energy to get going.

As a result, researchers are trying to create lithium-oxygen batteries that are much more compact than those found in smartphones and electric vehicles.
