Sandia researchers developing new family of metal-based ionic liquids for low-cost, efficient flow batteries

Green Car Congress

The research, some of which was published last year in the RSC journal Dalton Transactions , might lead to energy storage systems that can help economically and reliably incorporate large-scale intermittent renewable energy sources into the electric grid. The next step for the Sandia team is to find similar materials for flow battery anodes.

Ioxus Developing Higher Power Density Ultracapacitors

Green Car Congress

Ioxus expects a new set of cells, targeted for release at the end of the year with different terminations, to surpass Maxwell’s large cells in both volumetric and gravimetric power densities. Smaller Ioxus cells offer a power density of 22-28 kW/kg, and larger cells offer densities of 12-15 kW/kg, said Chad Hall, COO of Ioxus.
