Flashy: Rapid heating battery recycling method is 100 times faster, low-cost and high-yield
From Rice University 29/09/23 Demand for valuable metals needed in batteries is poised to grow over the coming decades in step with the growth of clean energy technologies, and the best place to source them may be by recycling spent batteries. A battery recycling process developed by Rice University scientists can remove the inert layer […]
New redox flow battery could store grid scale green energy more cheaply
From University of Cincinnati 09/09/23 Redox-flow battery eliminates costly and inefficient membrane. Jimmy Jiang envisions a future where every house is powered by renewable energy stored in batteries. In his chemistry lab, Jiang and his students at the University of Cincinnati have created a new battery that could have profound implications for the large-scale energy […]
MIT engineers create an energy-storing supercapacitor from ancient materials
From MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, Written by David L. Chandler, MIT News Office, 02/08/23 Two of humanity’s most ubiquitous historical materials, cement and carbon black (which resembles very fine charcoal), may form the basis for a novel, low-cost energy storage system, according to a new study. The technology could facilitate the use of renewable energy sources […]
