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

Green Car Congress

Short-term transients, including those related to wind and solar sources, present challenges to the electrical grid. Stationary energy storage systems that can operate for many cycles, at high power, with high round-trip energy efficiency, and at low cost are required. C, two-thirds of its maximum discharge capacity is observed.
