Sodium could replace lithium for more cost-efficient battery storage, scientists say Oct. 10 (UPI) — Researchers at Stanford University have built a sodium-based battery that can store just as much energy as a lithium-ion battery, but at a significantly reduced cost. Lithium-ion batteries have been the standard bearer for the last 25 years. But lithium … Continue reading #Sodium could replace #lithium for more cost-efficient battery storage, scientists say→
Battery Storage Still Needs Solar for Growth Costs have fallen 40 percent, but technology still isn’t cheap Some solar-charged storage units qualify for federal subsidy Batteries are hyped as the fix-it for clean-energy projects that can’t otherwise produce power around the clock. But they may need solar for growth. While costs have fallen about 40 … Continue reading Battery Storage Still Needs Solar for Growth→
Battery storage could help New York City’s ambitious energy, climate goals, report says New York City has ambitious energy goals, including a goal of installing 100 MWh of storage by 2020 and reducing emissions 80% by 2050. While the city has faced some difficulties in deploying batteries, in part due to fire codes and other … Continue reading Battery storage could help New York City’s ambitious energy, climate goals, report says→
Is Indium the Way to Go for the Next Wave of Efficient Battery Storage? As researchers search for the next best wave of a battery to replace the lithium-ion ones that we’ve all become to rely on but have outlived their performance capabilities, they’ve stumbled upon indium. Indium is not a new find but is … Continue reading Is #Indium the Way to Go for the Next Wave of Efficient Battery Storage?→
IKEA Launches Battery Storage Product to Compete With Tesla Even as it charges up production for its first mainstream electric car – the Model 3 – Tesla, Inc. is already facing competition on other fronts. Swedish furniture maker IKEA became the latest unlikely competitor for Tesla after a recent announcement that it would retail battery … Continue reading #IKEA Launches Battery Storage Product to Compete With #Tesla→
Future-Proofing Battery Power When we think about the reasons to switch to battery or hybrid power, the reduction of carbon emissions is one of the most obvious factors. However, as with so many other carbon-reducing technologies, other commercial incentives are needed to accelerate their widespread adoption in a financially challenged industry. Therefore, it is necessary … Continue reading Future-Proofing Battery Power→
Liquefied Gas Electrolytes Allow Lithium Batteries to Operate at Very Low Temperatures The innovative electrolytes also allow electrochemical capacitors to operate at temperatures of -80 °C, which at present operate at low temperatures of -40 °C. Apart from ensuring operation at very low temperatures, the technology also maintains greater performance at room temperature. The new … Continue reading Liquefied Gas Electrolytes Allow Lithium Batteries to Operate at Very Low Temperatures→
