Solar Energy Storage and Battery News

Scientists at Switzerland's École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have established an anode from graphene doped with sodium, which they state could possibly overcome a few of the essential concerns in raising storage ability and the life time of sodium-ion batteries.

The world's largest liquid air storage website has taken an action forwards today, with the announcement of a ₤ 10 million grant from the UK federal government.

A team of Brown University researchers has actually discovered a method to double the durability of a ceramic product used to make solid-state lithium ion batteries. The approach, explained in the journal Matter, could be beneficial in bringing solid-state batteries to the mass market.

Electrification of the transport sector - among the largest customers of energy worldwide - is vital to future energy and also environmental durability. Electrification of this market will certainly require high-power fuel cells (either stand alone or combined with batteries) to promote the transition to electric cars, from automobiles and trucks to watercrafts and aircrafts.

Its brand-new line of residential crossbreed storage space systems integrates Kstar inverter technology with the lithium-ion storage modern technology of Chinese battery professional CATL.
