In a paper in Nature , they suggest that the use of such redox-active organic molecules instead of redox-active metals represents a new and promising direction for realizing massive electrical energy storage at greatly reduced cost. —Huskinson et al. Background.

P2G systems use electrolysis powered by renewable energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen—i.e., P2G converts electrical energy to chemical energy in the form of hydrogen. Constraining storage solutions to “electricity-in, electricity-out” only will increase the cost of intermittency.

That’s why interest in unconventional solutions for energy storage has taken off in recent years. Some companies have landed on thermal storage. 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).
