A perfect storm of lithium supply shocks, manufacturing repatriation efforts, and higher clean energy ambitions have highlighted the need for energy storage alternatives to lithium-ion batteries. Long ...

Interest in long-duration energy storage (LDES) is rising rapidly as demand for clean firm capacity grows. With most LDES technologies still nascent, information about their cost is not widely ...

A scientist in safety glasses, a blue lab coat, and gloves holds a measuring device and stands in front of a large cube fitted with polyvinyl chloride pipes and flexible tubes. At a facility in ...

Marine Park residents are outraged over plans to build a lithium-ion battery energy storage system near their homes, concerned about the project’s location and safety risks it could pose to the ...

Fourth Power says its ultra-high temperature "sun in a box" energy storage tech is more than 10X cheaper than lithium-ion batteries, and vastly more powerful and efficient than any other thermal ...

Solid electrolytes are neither volatile nor flammable, unlike the liquid electrolytes used in conventional lithium-ion batteries. Discovery of a new lithium-air battery that can store much more energy ...

Lithium has become the default choice for battery-powered systems, but its limitations — from volatile supply chains to short lifespans — are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Offgrid Energy ...

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been central to the global energy transition, enabling electric vehicles, portable electronics, and grid-scale storage through their high power density, energy ...

Rising battery demand is straining resources and recycling systems. Embracing circular economy principles could make lithium-ion batteries cleaner, longer-lasting, and less dependent on scarce ...

Inlyte Energy, led by Stanford researcher Antonio Baclig, is advancing iron-sodium battery technology first explored in the 1970s, using table salt and iron as core components. With successful module ...

The rapid buildout of wind and solar power generation has set off a race for experimental technologies to capture and store that energy. Several startups in Houston say they’ve developed ways to cache ...
