While many researchers want to expand the limits of the Li-Ion battery technology, people at Influit Energy work on developing liquid flow batteries. Their latest concept, which is ready to enter ...

Engineers have developed a water-based battery that could help Australian households store rooftop solar energy more safely, cheaply and efficiently than ever before. Their next-generation "flow ...

Scientists in China have recently unveiled a new bromine-based flow battery that that could store more energy, last longer and cost less to operate compared with conventional battery designs. Led by ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

Researchers at the Monash University Department of Materials and Science and Engineering have developed a water-based battery potentially capable of providing compact, high-performance battery systems ...
