The use of electricity generated from clean and renewable sources, such as water,
wind, or sunlight, requires efficiently distributed electrical energy storage by
high-power and high-energy secondary batteries using abundant, low-cost materials
in sustainable processes. American Science Policy Reports state that the
next-generation "beyond-lithium" battery chemistry is one feasible solution for
such goals. Here we discover new "multivalent ion" battery chemistry beyond
lithium battery chemistry. Through theoretic calculation and experiment
confirmation, stable thermodynamics and fast kinetics are presented during the
storage of multivalent ions (Ni(2+), Zn(2+), Mg(2+), Ca(2+), Ba(2+), or La(3+)
ions) in alpha type manganese dioxide. Apart from zinc ion battery, we further
use multivalent Ni(2+) ion to invent another rechargeable battery, named as
nickel ion battery for the first time. The nickel ion battery generally uses an
alpha type manganese dioxide cathode, an electrolyte containing Ni(2+) ions, and
Ni anode. The nickel ion battery delivers a high energy density (340?Wh kg(-1),
close to lithium ion batteries), fast charge ability (1 minute), and long cycle
life (over 2200 times).
