Lux: Li-ion dominating grid storage market with 90% of 2014 proposals

Green Car Congress

Molten salt batteries—consisting almost entirely of sodium-sulfur (NaS)—account for 23% of all deployed MW and 64% of deployed MWh respectively. Driven by renewable-connected systems and demand management, grid-scale energy storage is taking off, with 450 MW and 730 MWh of systems installed in 2014.

Researchers call for integration of materials sustainability into battery research; the need for in situ monitoring

Green Car Congress

They include the desire to increase the driving range of more modestly priced electric cars from 150 to well over 500 km, and the need to lower the cost and provide maintenance-free technologies for grid applications. When the electrodes are externally connected, redox reactions proceed in tandem at both electrodes to deliver energy.

Univ. of Maryland team develops promising sodium-ion cathode material: FePO4/nanotube composite

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Maryland have developed a nanocomposite material of amorphous, porous FePO 4 nanoparticles electrically wired by single-wall carbon nanotubes as a potential cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). SWNT composite is a promising cathode material for viable sodium-ion batteries. C rate (10 mA/g).
