Will Supercapacitors Come to AI's Rescue?

Cars That Think

Banks of supercapacitors can store energy on short timescales (purple), compensating for AIs power bursts and creating a smoother power demand on the grid (red). However, much like a phone battery degrades after multiple recharge cycles, lithium-ion batteries degrade quickly when charging and discharging at this high rate.

Revealed: General Motors battery guru explains why lithium – not hydrogen – is central to our EV future

EV Central

So why isn’t the world heading in that direction, instead of lithium-ion battery tech? But if we can have, you know, green electricity – enough wind power, solar throughout the world to break those hydrogen oxygen bonds and make lots of hydrogen – you could have a hydrogen-powered energy economy. “In

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

Using a new metric—“Energy Stored on Invested, ESOI”—they concluded that batteries were the worst performers, while compressed air energy storage (CAES) performed the best, followed by pumped hydro storage (PHS). Their results are published in the RSC journal Energy & Environmental Science. —Charles Barnhart.
