Scientists in the US have developed an alkaline flow battery that they hope will help to tackle the tricky problem of storing energy from renewable power sources such as wind and solar. The new ...

The prevailing lithium-ion battery is not suited for the longer-duration energy storage needed to back up renewable energy. Flow batteries could be the perfect complement.

Researchers at PNNL have shrunken a flow battery by a factor of five to help rapid validation of new materials that can boost energy storage.

Like other batteries, a redox flow cell contains electrolyte solutions and a positive and negative terminal, around which electrons flow when the circuit is connected.

The future of 'extremely' energy-efficient circuits Date: September 18, 2019 Source: Yokohama National University Summary: Data centers are processing data and dispensing the results at ...

Researchers from Osaka University show the control of ion passage through a nanopore membrane by applying a voltage to a gate electrode, paving the way for sustainable blue energy harvesting.

The next goal is to store the energy in capacitors for later use. They need to miniaturize the circuit and patterning it on a silicon wafer or chip. If millions of these tiny circuits could be built ...
