Scientists from the University of Illinois at Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory have developed an innovative lithium-air battery that can be operated in an ambient environment for a record-breaking 750 charge/discharge cycles. The outcomes of their study have been described in the Nature journal.
A new method to large-scale rechargeable batteries that could solve longstanding issues and lead to low-cost power storage.
For years materials chemists have been attempting to develop a new type of battery that is capable of storing solar or other light-sourced energy in chemical bonds instead of electrons, one that will discharge the energy on demand as heat rather than as electricity – addressing the necessity for long-standing, stable, efficient storage of solar energy.
When a lithium-ion battery is overstuffed with lithium, that is, when more lithium is added, the battery will have the ability to store more charge in the same space, suppositionally powering an electric car to run 30%-50% percent more between charges.
Latest research at the University of Waterloo could pave the way to the production of batteries that triple the range of electric vehicles.
Scientists from the Binghamton University, State University of New York have developed a micro-scale biological solar cell with the ability to generate higher power density for longer than any such prevalent cell.
University of Illinois Engineers have reached one step closer to formulating a saltwater desalination technique, which is prospectively less expensive when compared to reverse osmosis and is dependent on battery technology.
The spike in the use of renewable sources of energy has rendered the stabilization of electricity networks highly difficult than ever before. Redox flow batteries might come in handy in overcoming this difficulty.
It is well known that solar power and wind power are the most sought-after renewable energy sources. However, they have not been extensively connected to the U.S. grid due to intermittency issues. That is, they mandate the use of energy-storage systems that, at the least, run nearly $100 per kilowatt hour and can be operated in only specific locations.
Assistant Professor Yang Yang’s research team at the University of Central Florida has developed two potential energy storage technologies in its work with sustainable energy systems.
