Reliance buys Na-ion battery developer Faradion

Green Car Congress

Faradion’s sodium-ion technology provides advantages compared to alternative battery technologies, especially lithium-ion and lead acid, including: Sustainable – There is no dependence and use of cobalt, lithium, copper or graphite. In addition, it has wide use applications from mobility to grid scale storage and back-up power.

Sandia researchers developing new family of metal-based ionic liquids for low-cost, efficient flow batteries

Green Car Congress

The research, some of which was published last year in the RSC journal Dalton Transactions , might lead to energy storage systems that can help economically and reliably incorporate large-scale intermittent renewable energy sources into the electric grid. copper ones, are also readily available and low cost.

Could Zinc Gel Chemistry Outperform Flow Batteries?

Cars That Think

In theory, they should be a good choice for applications, such as storing surplus energy from renewables. He adds that non-flow technologies likely "have lower investment cost but the energy throughput is lower. Our aim is to firm renewables, making solar and wind into baseload generation." So we will have to see."

How Automotive Dealerships Can Save Money with Battery Energy Storage

Blink Charging

Paired with renewable energy sources like solar, wind, or other energy sources, facilities can use the BES system to store and harness solar power or as a backup power source by storing energy from the grid. Installing a BESS on-site helps alleviate this grid demand for EV charging.

Ionova Technologies says ZIP-Cap ultracapacitors can offer 5x increase in energy density and 25x reduction in build cost (updated with graphic)

Green Car Congress

By doing so, we enable ultracapacitors with up to 35Wh/L (5x EDLC) and 25x lower build cost vs. EDLCs—addressing the two most prominent ultracapacitor weaknesses. And this chemistry and architecture allow low-cost, ultra large scale manufacturing. batteries to be leveraged. —Fraser Seymour. Resources. ?
