OSU smart membrane could enable new category of high-energy, high-power energy storage for EVs

Green Car Congress

The scientific challenges in designing rechargeable batteries with high GED, SP and high MPMs can be understood from the mechanics of charge storage in electrode materials. In laboratory tests, the engineers found that their membrane reliably controlled charging and discharging in batteries powered by ions of lithium, sodium and potassium.

Pike Research forecasts worldwide grid energy storage spending to reach $22B by 2021, down from 2010 forecast of $35B

Green Car Congress

For the long-duration segment of the energy storage market, pumped hydro storage and advanced flow batteries will represent the largest portions of the total revenue opportunity during the next decade. This means that we will need 3x more battery capacity investments to meet 2020 EV demand. 2010 vs 2011 forecasts.
