New long-duration, extended capacity Na-Al battery design for grid storage

Green Car Congress

h is achieved with an estimated raw active materials cost of $7.02 These metrics show the great potential of this unlocked chloroaluminate battery for future low-cost, long-duration electrochemical energy storage. By significantly increasing the cathode thickness and therefore accessible areal capacity up to 131.7 —Weller et al.

Stanford study quantifies energetic costs of grid-scale energy storage over time; current batteries the worst performers; the need to improve cycle life by 3-10x

Green Car Congress

Benson from Stanford University and Stanford’s Global Climate and Energy Project (GCEP) has quantified the energetic costs of 7 different grid-scale energy storage technologies over time. We find that annual material resource production places tight limits on Li-ion, VRB and PHS development and loose limits on NaS and CAES.

ARPA-E Selects 37 Projects for $106M in Funding in Second Round; Electrofuels, Better Batteries and Carbon Capture

Green Car Congress

Electrofuels approaches will use organisms able to extract energy from other sources, such as solar-derived electricity or hydrogen or earth-abundant metal ions. The target liquid fuel is isooctane, which fits well into the existing transportation fuel system in the United States. Electrofuels. OPX Biotechnologies Inc.

Promising EV Trends to Lookout For in 2023

Get Electric Vehicle

In the year 2022 overall sales of EVs in the United States reached 5.6% Although the higher upfront costs have long been a barrier to EV adoption, major automakers like Tesla, Chevrolet, Nissan, and Hyundai are also lowering the cost of their current models. With the delivery of 10.5 billion in 2021 to $848.94

The lithium-ion battery comprises 168 prismatic cells and is liquid-cooled. Its emphasis is on lithium-ion battery systems, which are put together using a flexible, modular concept. Alternatively they can serve as buffers for renewables such as wind and solar power—whether as part of the grid or as home installations.
