Nuclear power generates nearly 20% of US electricity, delivering reliable, low-emission baseload power to the grid. The low volume of new plant construction combined with expected retirements of existing plants is projected to reduce US nuclear electricity capacity by 20.8 GW by 2050.

High-energy nickel (Ni)–rich cathode will play a key role in advanced lithium (Li)–ion batteries, but it suffers from moisture sensitivity, side reactions, and gas generation. This can leave much of the surface area exposed to electrolyte, accelerating unwanted chemical reactions induced by high nickel content and generating gas.

In this scenario, excess renewable electricity can be used to electrolyze water to produce hydrogen. Most importantly, the surface is coated with a thin film of basic salts—a mixture of lithium, potassium, and cesium acetate. A central problem of renewable energy technology lies in the great variation of energy generated (i.e.,

The California-based Hyperlight Energy will be piloting an installation where they plan to use existing oil wells as solar thermal wellsprings, with the stored energy being converted back to clean electricity when required. During winter, he adds, they can pull up the energy and generate zero-carbon electricity based on the demand curve.
