As useful and impressive as current battery technology is, versions that store renewable energy for grid-scale use may look vastly different to those inside today’s phones and electric vehicles. One promising technology is flow, or redox flow, batterie… Continue reading Symmetrical flow battery may strike right balance for grid-scale storage
Devices known as flow batteries attract a lot of attention from scientists looking for affordable solutions for grid-scale energy storage, but are they affordable enough? A team at MIT believes there is room for improvement on this front, and has devel… Continue reading Ice-cream-like electrode may unlock cheap storage for renewable energy
Redox flow batteries hold great promise when it comes to grid-scale storage of renewable energy, because they can hold vast amounts of it in huge tanks at relatively low cost. Regulating the flow of energy in between these reservoirs sits a membrane, a… Continue reading Hybrid membrane edges flow batteries toward grid-scale energy storage
As the world continues its shift towards renewable forms of energy like wind and solar, scientists see devices known as redox flow batteries as part of the solution to our storage needs. There is still come work to do in bringing current designs up to … Continue reading Candle compound brings high density to grid-scale battery technology
As a storage solution for renewable energy, scientists see great potential in what are known as redox flow batteries, which hold energy in large tanks rather than compact electrode materials. A new design from Sweden’s Linköping University is a decided… Continue reading Scientists build first redox flow battery made of all-organic materials
Capturing energy from the Sun with solar panels is only half the story – that energy needs to be stored somewhere for later use. In the case of flow batteries, storage is relegated to vats of liquid. Now, an international team led by University of Wisc… Continue reading Solar flow battery efficiently stores renewable energy in liquid form
Liquid and solid-state batteries each have their own advantages and disadvantages, but now researchers at the University of Texas at Austin claim to have developed a new battery that mixes the best of both worlds. The new design is the first all-liquid… Continue reading Experimental all liquid-metal battery stays liquid at room temperature
Lithium-ion batteries power much of the modern world, but when it comes to renewable energy, scientists see great potential in an emerging alternative known as redox flow batteries. Researchers have developed a new electrode component for these storage… Continue reading Shrimp shells offer a green ingredient for large-scale flow batteries
