Although every electrical grid begins with the production of electricity, there are times when storing this power in some form instead of using it immediately is highly convenient. Today’s battery-powered …read more Continue reading Grid-Level Energy Storage And The Challenge Of Storing Energy Efficiently
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
A team of engineers at Cornell’s Organic Robotics Lab has built a soft-bodied robotic lionfish powered by electric blood, which not only serves as an energy source, but acts hydraulically to create propulsion as well. This bio-inspired approa… Continue reading Robo-fish is powered by blood-like battery fluid
