Researchers at Case Western Reserve University are scaling up a prototype iron-flow battery to provide cleaner and cheaper power when renewable energy sources are ebbing or demand is peaking. The ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have designed a playing card-sized mini-flow battery aimed at ...

Flow batteries – well, most flow batteries, anyway – aren't the kinds of things you'd expect to find in a car or laptop. They're typically best suited to large, long-duration energy storage jobs, so ...

RICHLAND, Wash.— A commonplace chemical used in water treatment facilities has been repurposed for large-scale energy storage in a new battery design by researchers at the Department of Energy’s ...

Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands is testing an unusual kind of battery that could prove to be a better, cheaper way to store wind and solar energy. Developed by US startup ESS, the device is known ...

RICHLAND, Wash.—A common food and medicine additive has shown it can boost the capacity and longevity of a next-generation flow battery design in a record-setting experiment. A research team from the ...

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 ...

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 ...

PNNL's flow battery maintained its capacity to store and release energy for over a year of continuous use, a record-setting feat, largely attributed to the use of a simple sugar. Flow batteries, ...

A new iron-based aqueous flow battery shows promise for grid energy storage applications. A commonplace chemical used in water treatment facilities has been repurposed for large-scale energy storage ...
