Energy storage: the key to a decarbonised future

Setec Powerr

Just like we put food in the refrigerator, we can store it for days or weeks without eating it immediately or discarding it. Batteries encompass a range of chemistries. Others solid battery types are nickel-cadmium and sodium-sulphur, while zinc-air is emerging. Storage devices can save energy in many forms (e.g.,

Team at Naval Research Laboratory suggests design direction for structural batteries

Green Car Congress

The researchers’ analysis also suggests that further found that ext-generation structural batteries should look to energy-dense aluminum-air and zinc-air batteries. By storing energy and bearing mechanical loads, structural batteries reduce the amount of conventional structural materials required by devices.
