MIT researchers have engineered a new rechargeable, membrane-less hydrogen bromine laminar flow battery with high power density. The rapid and reversible reaction kinetics of both the bromine reduction reaction and the hydrogen oxidation reaction minimize activation losses, while the low cost ($1.39 Credit: Braff et al.

The new semi-solid flow cells, which can use established lithium intercalation compounds, could deliver energy densities of 300–500 Wh L -1 (specific energy of 130–250 Wh kg -1 ) at system-level costs, depending upon the chemistries, of $250 kWh -1 and $100 kWh -1 for transportation and grid level storage, respectively, the researchers conclude.

The US Department of Energy is awarding $106 million in funding for 37 research projects selected in the second round by the DOE’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E). The aerobic microbe has been engineered at MIT and is capable of converting a variety of organic compounds into oil, from which biodiesel may be produced.

MIT professor Donald Sadoway and his team have demonstrated a long-cycle-life calcium-metal-based liquid-metal rechargeable battery for grid-scale energy storage, overcoming the problems that have precluded the use of the element: its high melting temperature, high reactivity and unfavorably high solubility in molten salts.
