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

Green Car Congress

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. Cost is a greater concern. We decided we needed to develop a new chemistry if we were going to make low-cost batteries and battery electrodes for the power grid.

MIT team calls initial performance results of magnesium-antimony liquid metal battery “promising”

Green Car Congress

Large-scale energy storage is poised to play a critical role in enhancing the stability, security, and reliability of tomorrow’s electrical power grid, including the support of intermittent renewable resources. —Bradwell et al. While the initial cell performance results are promising, exploration of other metal?

UC Davis researchers suggest we may be at the beginning of a real hydrogen transition in transportation

Green Car Congress

in the past few years important factors have emerged that are re-accelerating the commercialization of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. Low-cost shale gas has improved the prospects for natural gas-derived hydrogen, especially in the United States, where it is a major force in the resurgence of federal interest in hydrogen energy.

Australia Goes All-in on Green Hydrogen

Cars That Think

Ark’s first move was to access more renewable power in Australia by buying into a 923-MW wind farm that’s expected to spin up in 2024. To become a low-cost producer of green hydrogen, we first have to become an extreme user—to make it pervasive across our business. In 2021, Ark Energy took a stake in.

NETL investigating researching chemistries for large-scale battery- and supercapacitor-based grid energy storage systems

Green Car Congress

NETL has developed low-cost Na-based cathodes such as NaFePO 4 and Na 3 Fe 2 (PO 4 ) 3 that potentially can be used in large-scale energy storage systems. NETL researchers are also exploring ways to improve lithium-ion batteries. Sodium is another element that is less expensive than lithium.

How Carmakers Are Responding to the Plug-In Hybrid Opportunity

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

This is from "Commercializing Plug-In Hybrids" (pdf), the current CalCars 24-slide presentation about PHEVs available along with other documents at CalCars Downloads. The F6 DM uses ferrous batteries, with no lithium content, that BYD says are high-energy density and low cost. By partnering with these two industries.
