While many researchers want to expand the limits of the Li-Ion battery technology, people at Influit Energy work on developing liquid flow batteries. Their latest concept, which is ready to enter ...

New Chinese iron battery design could deliver decade-long lifespan while cutting reliance on expensive lithium.

As useful and impressive as current battery technology is, versions that store renewable energy for grid-scale use may look vastly different to those inside today's phones and electric vehicles. One ...

Energy storage is becoming increasingly important to the power industry. Lithium-ion battery technology has been implemented in many locations, but flow batteries offer significant benefits in ...

The flow battery design passes anolyte and catholyte liquids past each other on either side of an ion exchange membrane to generate current. The system needs four tanks, for spent and unspent fuels, ...

Vanadium flow batteries are one of the most promising technologies for large-scale energy storage, due to their long cycle life, excellent recyclability, and low fire risk. However, their uptake is ...

The battery as we know it today was an invention of Italian chemist and physicist Alessandro Volta. He witnessed electricity splitting water into its constituent elements of oxygen and hydrogen and ...

Canada-based vanadium mining company Largo Resources has entered the energy storage business with the launch of its Delaware-based Largo Clean Energy unit. The newly formed company will develop ...
