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

Green Car Congress

AQDSH 2 refers to the reduced form of AQDS. Wide-scale utilization of flow batteries is, however, limited by the abundance and cost of these materials, particularly those using redox-active metals and precious-metal electrocatalysts. The design permits larger amounts of energy to be stored at lower cost than with traditional batteries.

IDTechEx calculates ~31 GWh of electric vehicle markets beyond cars in 2021

Green Car Congress

IDTechEx calculates that non-automotive EV sectors in 2021 demanded approximately 31 GWh globally in 2021; for reference, battery-electric and plug-in hybrid cars demanded approximately 280 GWh globally in 2021. OEMs need to design large EVs from scratch and manufacture at volume to realize economy-of-scale savings.
