can strontium be used to make a super battery? Or a strontium generator?
Holy cow! Do I have enough to become a copper-top?zeitghost said:The bones of those of us lucky(?) enough to have been born in the 1950s have a generous helping of Sr90 from all those lovely atmospheric tests...

Yes, strontium can be used to make a super battery. Strontium is a highly reactive metal that can be used as an anode material in batteries, providing a high energy density and long battery life.
Strontium can be used as an anode material in batteries, meaning it serves as the negative electrode in a battery. When strontium is combined with a cathode material and an electrolyte, it can form a battery that can store and release energy.
Strontium has a high energy density, meaning it can store a lot of energy in a small amount of space. It also has a low potential for self-discharge, making it a stable and long-lasting option for batteries. Additionally, strontium is relatively affordable and abundant, making it a practical choice for large-scale battery production.
One potential downside to using strontium in batteries is its reactivity. Strontium can react with moisture in the air, which could cause safety concerns in certain battery designs. Additionally, strontium may not be as readily available as other battery materials, depending on location and accessibility.
Scientists are currently researching ways to optimize the use of strontium in batteries, such as finding ways to control its reactivity and exploring different cathode materials to use in conjunction with strontium. There is also ongoing research on creating more efficient and cost-effective methods for producing strontium-based batteries.
