SEPTEMBER 29, 2011

Unlike more conventional supercapacitor electrode materials with large surface areas and high porosities, the new hydrophilized polymer network uses ion-conducting channels for fast ion transport and charge storage. With the advanced energy storage membrane, the cost to store each farad falls to US$0.62. —Xie et al.

AUGUST 17, 2021

Addressing climate change requires not only a clean electrical grid, but also a clean fuel to reduce emissions from industrial heat, long-haul heavy transportation, and long-duration energy storage. Hydrogen and its derivatives could be that fuel, argues a commentary by four energy researchers in the journal Joule.

The post-combustion outlet gas is more easily separated into water and CO 2 to the pipeline, thereby lowering the electricity costs of grids with high levels of VRE. UNO MK3 allows CO 2 to be withdrawn and stored as solid potassium bicarbonate during high energy demand, eliminating stripper energy and enabling profitable regeneration.
