In the study, chemical vapours react with the iron oxide in red bricks, to form a layer of special conductive plastic. Photo: Shutterstock
US university research team say they have invented a process that can transform bricks into ‘batteries’
- The ‘power bricks’ can be recycled up to 10,000 times before losing their capacity
- The treated bricks basically act as supercapacitors, which can charge faster and last longer than standard batteries
