Artificial intelligence has helped discover new materials that could transform batteries , scientists claim.

Battery technology could be key to moving towards a more sustainable world. Researchers hope that batteries could provide a key way of allowing for better electric vehicles as well as transforming smaller technology such as phones.

At the same time, however, our existing battery technology is flawed. The lithium-ion batteries that power much of our devices are relatively low density, lose energy over time and are vulnerable to heat and other changes.

One way that researchers hope to address those problems is through what they call multivalent batteries. Those use more easily available elements in comparison with lithium-ion batteries, and so could be cheaper, easier and cleane
