US scientists have developed a battery that can retain 92% of its initial capacity over periods of 12 weeks, with a theoretical energy density of 260 W/hour per kg. It was built with an aluminum anode ...

As renewable forms of power like wind and solar continue to gain prominence, there will be a need for creative solutions when it comes to storing energy from sources that are intermittent by nature.

Engineers at MIT have developed a new battery design using common materials – aluminum, sulfur and salt. Not only is the battery low-cost, but it’s resistant to fire and failures, and can be charged ...

This edition of PowerBites looks at innovative research into a salt-based battery that could “freeze” excess power for a long duration, as well as multiple SiC-based advances plus other late-breaking ...

A battery made of iron and salt could provide emergency power – without the threat of fire – near one of California’s oldest redwood forests. The 200-kilowatt battery will be paired with solar panels ...
