Researchers at MIT, responding to a challenge issued by the US Department of Energy, have developed a new battery for use by utility companies to store electricity that costs 100 times less than the conventional lithium ion batteries in use today.
Researchers at Harvard have created a flow battery that is non-toxic, non-corrosive, and has an extremely long life. Could this be the breakthrough the world has been waiting for?
The great state of Tennessee is on the cutting edge of new energy storage tech, thanks partly to its role as the home of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Another nail in the coal coffin: a new steampunk-style “hourglass” flow battery concept could lead to low cost energy storage for wind and solar power.
The startup 24M has come out of stealth mode with a new lithium-ion battery that gives better performance at half the cost, for EVs and grid energy storage.
Battered and bruised by natural gas and renewable energy, King Coal is facing a lethal new energy storage foe: next-generation flow batteries.
For those of you who know your vanadium, the real question about vanadium flow batteries is: where’s the vanadium going to come from? But for now, let’s start with the company American Vanadium, which has announced that the new commercially available CellCube vanadium-based flow battery is now undergoing tests at … [continued]
This post first appeared on the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory website by Mike Ross Researchers from the US Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University have designed a low-cost, long-life battery that could enable solar and wind energy to become major suppliers to the electrical grid. “For solar and … [continued]
MIT researchers developed a li-ion battery that is designed radically different from all of the others. They claim that this new design is capable of being refilled quickly and that it is very lightweight.
