A global team of researchers has invented recyclable ‘water batteries’ that won’t catch fire or explode. The team use water to replace organic electrolytes — which enable the flow of electric current between the positive and negative terminals — meaning their batteries can’t start a fire or blow up — unlike their lithium-ion counterparts.
