Sandia researchers developing new family of metal-based ionic liquids for low-cost, efficient flow batteries

Green Car Congress

Sandia researchers have developed a new family of electrochemically reversible, metal-based ionic liquid (MetILs) that could lead to non-aqueous redox (reducing-oxidizing) flow-battery energy storage systems ( earlier post ) able to cost-effectively store three times more energy than today’s batteries.
