on august 27, the reporter learned from the university of science and technology of china that the school team proposed a mars battery, which uses components of the martian atmosphere as fuel for battery reactions, and can achieve high energy density and long cycle performance. the results have been published in the comprehensive academic journal science bulletin.

the carbon dioxide content in the martian atmosphere is as high as 95.32%, and lithium carbon dioxide batteries use metallic lithium and carbon dioxide as reactants, so they are considered to have potential application value in mars exploration. the team of professor tan peng of the department of thermal science and energy engineering of the university of science and technology of china has developed a martian battery that uses the martian atmosphere as direct fuel, and combined with temperature fluctuation tests, it has simulated the real environment on the surface of mars to a great extent, thus realizing a martian battery system that can continuously output electrical energy. studies have shown that the cycle life of martian batteries at a low temperature of 0 °c is 1375 hours.
