Today’s technologies for making biofuels all rely on photosynthesis—either indirectly by converting plants to fuels or directly by harnessing photosynthetic organisms such as algae. This process is less than 1% efficient at converting sunlight to stored chemical energy. Electrofuels: Biofuels from Electricity. Engineering E.

On discharge, the metallic lithium (anode) is converted into lithium ions and the generated lithium ions diffuse from the organic solution across the LISICON film to the aqueous solution. In other words, energy from the sun can be “stored” in the metal, and then be used on demand by reacting the lithium in the fuel cell.

In a typical non-aqueous rechargeable Li–O 2 battery, lithium peroxide (Li 2 O 2 ) is the discharging product formed on the oxygen electrode surface and is oxidized back to O 2 and Li + in a following charging process. The state of the art is to use a solar panel to capture the light, and then use a cheap battery to store the energy.

Let’s consider a simple example, say an EV conversion that has a 120V pack and a range of around 30 miles. An EV like this would need to store 6KWHrs of power in the batteries if we assume the system is 100% efficient. If we wanted to recharge this from 110V domestic service we would need to pull 10,800,000/110 = 96,000 amps.

Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. Currently, there are some industrial facilities that use battery swapping to replenish the energy stores of electric forklifts.
