Hybrid biomass flow battery stores electricity and produces valuable chemicals at the same time

Green Car Congress

Rechargeable batteries store electricity in their electrode materials, while redox flow batteries use chemicals stored in tanks attached to the electrodes. Researchers have now developed a battery system based on a hybrid cell, which not only stores and provides electricity but also produces valuable chemicals in a flow system.

EKODA consortium exploring direct reuse or repurposing of batteries, gearboxes

Green Car Congress

Used and damaged cars are often disposed of via energy-intensive scrapping processes—even when many of their parts are still fully functional. Used batteries, gear shafts and cogwheels could even show up in other applications outside the automotive industry. Next, the battery cover is removed through a semi-automated process.
