Chinese scientists have created a hydrogen-based power source

Chinese researchers have presented the first prototype of a gas-solid hydride-ion battery, which uses magnesium metal and hydrogen gas as electrodes. This innovation could solve one of the key challenges in clean energy: the efficient and safe use of hydrogen.

The new battery demonstrates impressive performance: it can operate in a wide temperature range—from minus 20 to 90 degrees Celsius. After 60 charge and discharge cycles, the device retains over 70% of its capacity, and its energy efficiency reaches 93,9%. This is approximately a third higher than traditional hydrogen applications, opening up new prospects for the development of hydrogen energy.

Experts believe that the implementation of such technologies could accelerate the transition to clean energy sources, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and improve energy security. The study has already been published in the prestigious scientific journal Joule, confirming its significance for the global scientific community.

Russia is also developing hydrogen technologies, and the emergence of new, effective solutions could provide additional impetus to domestic projects to create the clean energy of the future.

There have also been reports of improvements to lithium-sulfur batteries by Chinese developers. Researchers at the Shenzhen Tsinghua International Graduate School have increased their efficiency and reduced energy loss.
