Harvard team demonstrates new metal-free organic–inorganic aqueous flow battery; potential breakthrough for low-cost grid-scale storage

Green Car Congress

The design permits larger amounts of energy to be stored at lower cost than with traditional batteries. By contrast, in solid-electrode batteries such as those commonly found in cars and mobile devices, the power conversion hardware and energy capacity are packaged together in one unit and cannot be decoupled. Commercialization.

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.

New Electrostatic Nanocapacitors Offer High Power and High Energy Density

Green Car Congress

“Our primary target is as part of a hybrid battery-capacitor system for electric cars. But there are many small scale applications, [including] better electrical storage systems for cellphones or laptops.” Multiple energy storage panels would be stacked together inside a car battery system or solar panel.
