China’s battery storage capacity growth likely to slow in 2024 – ET Auto

Baua Electric

Growth in China’s battery storage capacity could slow down in 2024, according to an industry association, as energy storage struggles with low profitability. Under a more “ideal” scenario, the association sees China’s new energy storage capacity installations rising 19% year-on-year to 41.2GW, the white paper found.

New nanoparticle copper compound cathode could enable low-cost, long-life and high-power potassium-ion batteries for grid storage

Green Car Congress

At modest current densities, round-trip energy efficiencies of 99% can be achieved. Short-term transients, including those related to wind and solar sources, present challenges to the electrical grid. Existing energy storage technologies cannot satisfy these requirements. —Wessells et al. Cost is a greater concern.
