OSU team develops new aqueous lithium-iodine solar flow battery; 20% energy savings over Li-I batteries

Green Car Congress

The square piece of solar cell (center) is red, because the researchers are using a red dye to tune the wavelength of light it absorbs and converts to electrons. Aqueous flow batteries have attracted significant interest because they could theoretically provide affordable power grid-level energy storage someday.
