Lithium ion batteries, cheaper & greener

Lithium ion batteries contain binders (read "glue") to hold things together. Unfortunately, binders are non-conductive (& so tend to reduce battery performance), toxic & expensive.

Cue the research team from the University of Delaware, with their conductive, non-toxic, cheap binder.

Winner!
