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. Batteries Power Generation Smart Grid' —Braff et al. Braff, Martin Z.

Algae cultures tend to be relatively dilute, and the energy requirement to remove water from the cultures can be a significant portion of the energy balance. Additionally, few of current harvesting and dewatering technologies available today are amenable to scaling for larger production scenarios of 1,000 acre or larger algal farms.

Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. Most charge points available today take much longer to re-energize batteries than it does to fill a gas-powered cars tank.
