Nanostructured Alloy For Better Lithium Ion Battery Anodes
February 17, 2021 | Leave a Comment
Oregon State University researchers have developed a battery anode based on a new nanostructured alloy that could revolutionize the way energy storage devices are designed and manufactured. The zinc- and manganese-based alloy further opens the door to replacing solvents commonly used in battery electrolytes with something much safer and inexpensive, as well as abundant: seawater. […]

Grid Storage Batteries For 1/5 The Price
January 26, 2021 | Leave a Comment
University of Warwick researchers in collaboration with Imperial College London, have found a way to enhance hybrid flow batteries and their commercial use. The new approach can store electricity in these batteries for very long durations for about a fifth the price of current technologies, with minimal location restraints and zero emissions. The researchers’ enhanced […]
