University of Groningen scientists have designed a flow battery electrolyte that is cheaper and is based on an organic compound, rather than a metal. The intermittent supply of green electricity requires large-scale storage to keep our power grids stable. Since normal batteries do not scale very well, the idea of using flow batteries, which store […]

Flow Battery Progress For Grid Use
November 20, 2019 | 1 Comment
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory scientists have designed an affordable ‘flow battery’ membrane that could accelerate renewable energy for the electrical grid. The press release asks, “How do you store renewable energy so it’s there when you need it, even when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing?” Answering, “Giant batteries designed for the […]

Harvard’s John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences researchers have demonstrated a new organic molecule that outlives and outperforms its predecessors, offering the longest-lasting high-performance organic flow battery to date. Nicknamed the Methuselah quinone – after the longest-lived Biblical figure – this molecule could usefully store and release energy many tens of thousands […]

New Flow Battery To Cost 60 Percent Less
December 22, 2015 | Leave a Comment
DOE/Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have announced a new organic aqueous flow battery, which uses inexpensive and readily available materials. Energy storage system owners could see significant savings from a new flow battery technology that costs about 60% less than today’s standard flow batteries. The organic aqueous flow battery, described in a paper published in the […]
