Researchers demonstrate efficient solar energy storage in a chemical liquid
One of the big challenges for solar energy systems is finding an efficient and cost-effective means of storing excess electricity that can be supplied whenever and wherever it is needed, instead of being limited to daytime. An article in Chalmers Chemistry and Chemical Engineering News stated that the latest version of a Swedish-designed, liquid-based energy […]

Hydrogen-bromide flow batteries could soon power the renewable energy industry (but release a dangerous, toxic gas)
An energy storage concept from the Radical ’60s could solve the biggest problem of the wind energy sector. In an article published in ScienceDaily, Kansas researchers have developed a viable hydrogen-bromine flow battery that could store excess electricity during the night. Anyone who has been in the Midwest is bound to run across a wind farm sooner […]

Praise for the proton: Latest battery breakthrough may free us from lithium ion
We may finally be on the verge of a true alternative to costly lithium-ion batteries that rely on rare earth metals. Australian researchers recently debuted the first working example of a carbon-based rechargeable proton battery, according to an article on ScienceDaily. According to the RMIT University (RMIT) research team, their proton battery works in tandem […]

Ancient technology provides solution for energy storage
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are re-adapting ancient technology as a low-cost method to store carbon-free energy, effectively removing one of the main barriers to its large-scale adoption. Firebricks, which are essentially clay items designed to withstand high temperatures, can be incorporated into a system which would convert excess electricity into heat […]
