Thermal Energy Storage Is No Longer Just Hot Air

Cars That Think

The company is building these shipping container systems, which work like giant batteries that store energy as heat and pressurized air , rather than a chemical reaction (Cheesecake’s name is derived from a nerdy acronym for their technology.) It’s a rare material, and lots of places need batteries,” Liu said.

Cornell team suggests engineered bacteria could address current limitations of energy storage technologies

Green Car Congress

Raising the penetration of renewable —an intermittent—sources of energy into the grid will require large scale electrical energy storage and retrieval. However, at present, no existing technology provides such storage and retrieval at a low financial and environmental cost.

RPI researchers develop new aqueous Li-ion battery that improves safety without sacrificing performance

Green Car Congress

As the lithium-ion batteries that currently power most phones, laptops, and electric vehicles become increasingly fast-charging and high-performing, they also grow increasingly expensive and flammable. A paper on their work is published in the journal Energy Storage Materials. Lakhnot et al. —Nikhil Koratkar.
