'Super batteries' to help cut pollution

Energy experts meeting in Washington have urged China and the United States to cooperate on the development of a "super-battery" that will promote the use of clean energy.

"We are living in a more and more transparent world economy," said Jeffrey Chamberlain, executive director of the Joint Center for Energy Storage Research at the Argonne National Laboratory, at the Atlantic Council, on Monday. "There is room to collaborate in scientific research with other scientists all over the world."

Chamberlain said that scientific research cooperation between China and the US has been common and he has been to China to exchange views with the nation's scientists on the challenges of the energy sector.
