Nazar and her colleagues switched the organic electrolyte to a more stable inorganic molten salt and the porous carbon cathode to a bifunctional metal oxide catalyst. Resources. In addition, the superoxide consumes the organic electrolyte in the process, which greatly limits the cycle life. —Linda Nazar.

Researchers are working on ways to store more energy in the cathode materials by increasing nickel content. Nickel-rich cathode materials have real potential to store more energy. These carry advantages for storing and discharging energy faster. (Image courtesy of Jie Xiao | Pacific Northwest National Laboratory).

The researchers used a high-temperature surface treatment with molten salt to produce a protective surface layer on particles of manganese- and lithium-rich metal-oxide, so the amount of oxygen loss is drastically reduced. 2019) “Gradient Li-rich oxide cathode particles immunized against oxygen release by a molten salt treatment.”

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. Thermal energy storage is a known low-cost, low-risk approach for storing solar energy in the form of heat,” adds Codd.

The hydrogen, in turn, is then reacted with carbon dioxide to make methanol and water, thus allowing it to be stored as a liquid. Further exploring the potential of this method should cause advances in molten-salt chemistry, surface science, catalyst preparation, and reaction engineering. —Kusche et al. Enzenberger, F.,
