Researchers Find Method of Making Ammonia a More Affordable Hydrogen Storage
Sometimes quoted as the main component of a new and good hydrogen storage material, ammonia (NH3) could this time rival hydrogen in the race...
Iron "Veins" Inside Magnesium Could Make the Perfect Solution for Hydrogen Storage
A principle that mother nature uses since millions of years ago may just be the solution to an efficient hydrogen storage material, as hydrogen...
New Solid State Lithium Ion Batteries As Good As Liquid Ones, And Cheaper
A new solid state lithium battery has been recently invented by Japanese researchers. The cell performs just as well as regular lithium ion batteries, but instead of having a liquid electrolyte, it features a solid one. The advantages are numerous and people have been researching solid electrolytes for the past few years.
Transparent Lithium Ion Battery Invented by Stanford Researchers
They may not even know it, but I guess transparent batteries are the dream of every teenager or fancily-dressed girl out there. And the good news is that Yi Cui together with a team from the University of Stanford, have invented such a battery.
Better Lithium Air Batteries Invented at MIT Could Store 4 Times More Electricity Than...
A recent MIT invention could enhance the electricity storing ability of current lithium ion batteries by several times. Specifically, the batteries that were targeted were lithium-air, whose effectiveness has only recently been proven.
PolyZion Project Develops Zinc-Plastic Batteries For EVs
Everyone knows that today's lead acid, lithium-ion and nickel metal hydride batteries are much more efficient than they had been ten years ago. The bad part of these batteries is that they are expensive, heavy and there's the risk of a short circuit and catching fire. Now, a team of scientists at the University of Leichester found a way to solve these issues.
Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) System to Debut in Denmark, Pays Users $10,000 For Service
EVs are not so common these days, but if they make enough financial sense, we'll see them flooding cities soon enough. As Denmark is currently the country which profits the most from wind power, Nuvve, the U.S.-based company that created the vehicle-to-grid (V2G) system, has announced that it will start using Denmark's electric vehicles as buffers for stabilizing the grid frequency, Cleantechnica reports.
New York's Flywheel Grid Regulation System Goes Online July 12
New York's 20-megawatt flywheel energy storage system is about to go online later this month, to provide extra bursts of electricity for stabilizing the grid. Beacon Power, the project contractor, says it built the world's largest energy storage in Stephentown, N.Y.. They'll even host a ceremony at the official launch date, July 12.
24M's Liquid Battery Can Be Filled With Sludgy Electrodes, Cuts Price in Half
24M, a spin-off from battery maker A123 has published a paper which describes a new type of battery that would outperform any existing lithium ion unit designed for electric vehicles. Today's lithium batteries are bulky and heavy just because there's a lot of extra material in them that doesn't have anything with the storage of energy, but merely with supporting the active "ingredients."
Germany To Store Power From Renewable Sources In The Mountains
If we are to rely on clean energy from wind and solar resources, then we have to find a way to have them constantly at hand. The wind and the sun are unreliable by their nature and power cuts are not an option in this era of speed and global communication.
