A new twist on bromine-based flow batteries could make large-scale energy storage cheaper, safer, and far longer-lasting. Bromine-based flow batteries store and release energy through a chemical ...

Scientists have found a way to push zinc–bromine flow batteries to the next level. By trapping corrosive bromine with a ...

The results disclosed that the battery operated stably for more than 700 cycles at a current density of 40 milliamperes per ...

The flow battery is one of the more interesting ideas for grid energy storage – after all, how many batteries combine electron current with fluid current? If you’re interested in trying your hand at ...

Chinese researchers have unveiled a solar “battery” that does not just generate electricity, it stores it directly, reaching ...

The flow battery design passes anolyte and catholyte liquids past each other on either side of an ion exchange membrane to generate current. The system needs four tanks, for spent and unspent fuels, ...

Vanadium flow batteries are one of the most promising technologies for large-scale energy storage, due to their long cycle life, excellent recyclability, and low fire risk. However, their uptake is ...

Energy storage is becoming increasingly important to the power industry. Lithium-ion battery technology has been implemented in many locations, but flow batteries offer significant benefits in ...

The battery as we know it today was an invention of Italian chemist and physicist Alessandro Volta. He witnessed electricity splitting water into its constituent elements of oxygen and hydrogen and ...
