CBC News - Organic battery hailed as cheap renewable energy solution

CBC News - Organic battery hailed as cheap renewable energy solution: "A cheap rechargeable battery that harnesses energy by using the electrochemistry of organic molecules rather than metals is being touted by Harvard researchers as a breakthrough for renewable energy.

The Harvard team reports that the battery, which they say can be applied on a power-grid scale, uses naturally abundant and small organic compounds called quinones rather than electrocatalysts from costly precious metals such as platinum.

Bob McDonald: Organic batteries put clean-electricity future within sight"
