The world’s first aqueous solar flow battery has reached a major milestone- it outperforms lithium-iodine batteries. Solar cells that can also store energy were revealed last October by the team from Ohio State University (OSU). The design was pretty unique- it had three electrodes instead of four, a lithium plate base, thin sheet of carbon […]
