The MIT team estimates their thermal “battery” designed for long duration – 100 hours or more – would be half the cost of today’s cheapest grid-scale energy storage; pumped hydro. A very intriguing idea for long-duration gigawatt-scale grid thermal energy storage proposes to store renewable electricity from the grid by charging a “battery” of molten […]

Molten salt metal air battery could electrify transportation
Researchers have designed a rechargeable molten salt metal air battery that may provide an alternative to lithium-ion batteries and could help accelerate the shift to electrified transportation. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries can lose energy over time and under certain conditions they overheat while working or charging, which can degrade battery life and reduce miles per charge. […]
U.K. on Cusp of Battery Boom to Boost Renewable Power Supply
Developers of batteries in the U.K. have projects on the go that would increase the country’s capacity more than 14 times what it is today. Batteries are crucial to complement renewable power by storing electricity from wind and solar farms. As the U.K. works to quadruple its offshore wind farm capacity this decade, the growing […]
The Battery Is Ready to Power the World
After a decade of rapidly falling costs, the rechargeable lithium-ion battery is poised to disrupt industries Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries were first commercially used in hand-held camcorders in 1991. Laptops soon followed. A decade later, batteries enabled the rise of tech titans such as Apple Inc. by powering smartphones and wearable devices, then made their way […]
