Researchers at MIT have improved a proposed liquid battery system that could enable renewable energy sources to compete with conventional power plants. The original system, which used magnesium for one of the battery’s electrodes and antimony for the other, required an operating temperature of 700 ?C. Earlier post.).

One of the main impediments to harnessing solar energy is storage. Solar batteries work as a short-term solution, but not when it comes to long-term storage or to power, say, an entire city. Thermal energy storage is a known low-cost, low-risk approach for storing solar energy in the form of heat,” adds Codd.
