Thermal Energy Storage Is No Longer Just Hot Air

Cars That Think

Energy storage has two main factors—how fast it can be charged and discharged (the spigot) and how much total energy it can hold (the bathtub). Batteries have a powerful spigot, but that comes at the cost of a small tub. California already has this kind of time-of-use rate from electricity generated by solar or wind,” says Liu. “So

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

Green Car Congress

In contrast, flow batteries can independently scale the power (electrode area) and energy (arbitrarily large storage volume) components of the system by maintaining all of the electro-active species in fluid form. —Huskinson et al. Background. The active components of electrolytes in most flow batteries have been metals.
