Rechargeable membrane-less hydrogen bromine flow battery shows high power density

Green Car Congress

That is about three times as much power per square centimeter as other membrane-less system—a power density that is an order of magnitude higher than that of many lithium-ion batteries and other commercial and experimental energy-storage systems. At the same time, the researchers flowed hydrogen gas across the anode.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

Gasoline/diesel fueling stations to replenish the liquid fuel for these engines are readily available. Its potential as an electric energy storage facility means the PHEV can be used to even-out the vast energy inefficiency of the current grid, as well as to store intermittent solar and wind energy, a process which we will soon explain.
