Researchers at Harvard have demonstrated a metal-free organic–inorganic aqueous flow battery—a quinone–bromide flow battery (QBFB)—as an example of a class of energy storage materials that exploits the favorable chemical and electrochemical properties of a family of molecules known as quinones. —Huskinson et al.

Save maintenance costs EV charging stations typically require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance and safety. The frequency and cost of maintenance will depend on the type of charging station and usage level, as well as the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Photo: China News Service Renewable energy costs in Asia last year were 13% cheaper than coal and are expected to be 32% cheaper by 2030, according to a new study. This is significant because it marks a shift toward making renewables increasingly competitive with coal, a mainstay in APAC’s energy mix.

Consequently, the authors noted, research has focused on developing alternative, cheap, and robust catalysts made from earth-abundant elements. However, while platinum may be acceptable for making jewelry and low volume specialty applications, it is too expensive for large-scale applications such as energy storage and conversion.

Read the C&EN research here Lithium right now is very expensive and Sodium is quite cheap. Finally, Natron is a company based in Stanford University, they have a chemistry that uses Prussian Blue for both Anode and Cathode, they are able to achieve an energy density of 70 Wh/kg which is low, but their main focus is energy storage.

Now, researchers from the US Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), collaborating with UCLA and UC Berkeley researchers, suggest that the US can retrofit diesel-electric trains with batteries in a way that is cost-competitive with diesel. The social cost of carbon emissions starts at US$125?t

The eminent success of electric vehicles depends on four factors: good battery systems, customer confidence, reasonable costs and, perhaps most importantly, customer convenience. Lithium, nickel metal hydrides and even advanced lead acid products are now capable of great energy storage and have strong recycle lives.

The DRC’s cost competitiveness comes from its relatively cheap access to land and low engineering, procurement and construction, or EPC, cost compared to the US, Poland and China. —James Frith, head of energy storage at BNEF.

Finally there may be new energy storage that requires less lithium. At current transportation battery prices, that is well beyond the cost of spinning reserve. So, the used batteries are almost arbitrarily cheap since an arbitrarily large fraction of their cost of production can be loaded on their use in transportation.
