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

Green Car Congress

Because some hydroxy-anthraquinones are natural products, there is also the possibility that the electrolyte material can be renewably sourced. If the market price fluctuates enough, you could put a storage device there and buy electricity to store it when the price is low and then sell it back when the price is high. —Michael J.
