A new iron-based aqueous flow battery shows promise for grid energy storage applications. A commonplace chemical used in water treatment facilities has been repurposed for large-scale energy storage ...

Flow-style batteries are already demonstrating the potential to dramatically cut the cost of energy storage used to capture the excess output of grid-scale wind and solar plants for later use. A rapid ...

A new advance in bromine-based flow batteries could remove one of the biggest obstacles to long-lasting, affordable energy ...

Energy density tends to be low, because only so much battery material can be dissolved in a liquid before it starts to settle at the bottom of the tank, making it useless. This low density tends to ...

Some Oregon utilities have begun ramping up renewable energy to meet the state’s clean energy goals, but there’s a problem: The power can only be used when the wind is blowing or the sun is shining.

Energy materials facilitate the conversion or transmission of energy. They also play an essential role in how we store energy, reduce power consumption, and develop cleaner, efficient energy solutions ...

Energy materials can be categorized based on their function—whether for energy storage, conversion, or generation—or by their specific applications and technologies. Here, we explore energy materials ...

Global material demand is projected to increase by 30% from 2022 to 2050, driven primarily by construction, consumer goods, packaging, and transportation. The energy transition will cause a surge in ...

A recent assessment of material flows for various resins indicates a need for significant improvement in recovery and end-of-life processes to ensure a truly circular economy. The graphic featured has ...
