Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory have developed selenium and selenium–sulfur (Se x S y )-based cathode materials for a new class of room-temperature lithium and sodium batteries. C in the range 0.8 As Se and S are infinitely miscible, with many readily available solid solutions (e.g., Click to enlarge. S y systems.

Flow batteries are safe, stable, long-lasting, and easily refilled, qualities that suit them well for balancing the grid, providing uninterrupted power, and backing up sources of electricity. The design returned to life in the mid-20th century, was developed for possible use on a moon base, and was further improved for use in grid storage.

Increasing relief from range anxiety is one factor behind rapidly rising sales of electric vehicles. New investments in EV charging infrastructure, lower EV prices, continuous improvements in vehicle range, and the flow of new EV models are also spurring this growth. The most recent report revises that prediction upward to 700 million.
