…H2/H+ redox pair). Redox flow batteries are very similar to these idealized electrochemical cells. The example below uses Vanadium, in V2+, V3+, V4+ and V5+ oxidation states. https://thundersaidenergy.com/2023/11/02/redox-flow-batteries-for-the-duration/ Batteries are…
Solid state batteries promise 2x higher energy density than traditional lithium ion, with 3x faster charging and lower risk of fires. Thus they could re-shape global energy, especially heavy trucks….
…flex. The calculations are based on Monte Carlo simulations using real-world data on wind and solar volatility, which dictates the curtailment rate of renewables and the utilziation rates of batteries…
…grid can absorb. Below, we consider three solutions to address this challenge… (1) Should the home-owner build more batteries to avoid having to export so much power to the grid…
What if it were possible to displace diesel from high-cost, high-carbon “island” electricity grids, by charging up large batteries with gas- and renewable power, then shipping the batteries? This model…
…for hybridizing engines with backup batteries: the engines are always run at efficient, 80-100% loads, including to charge up the batteries, which can better cover lower intensity energy needs. Hybrid…
This data-file tabulates the greatest challenges for lithium ion batteries in electric vehicles, which have been cited in 2020’s patent literature. Specifically, the work contains a sample of 100 patents…
…switch away from incumbent lithium ion battery chemistries, to more novel and more energy dense battery chemistries (see below) such as solid state batteries, silicon anode batteries or sodium-ion batteries….
