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 ...

Lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs) offer a higher energy storage potential. However, issues like formation of lithium polysulfides and lithium dendrites lead to capacity loss and raise safety concerns.

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 ...

Lithium is essential for the clean energy transition, but its extraction often involves severe environmental and health consequences. AlkaLi, a startup company, aims to revolutionize lithium ...

How end-of-life lithium cells used in forklifts were reincarnated for a solar array—buying an extra 10 years of expected use in the process. Lithium batteries are enabling the energy transition in ...

RMIT engineers say they've tripled the energy density of cheap, rechargeable, recyclable proton flow batteries, which can now challenge commercially available lithium-ion batteries for capacity with a ...

Energy storage for the electrical grid is about to hit the big time. By the reckoning of the International Energy Agency (iea), a forecaster, grid-scale storage is now the fastest-growing of all the ...

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 ...

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced Monday Gateway Energy Storage will be required to clean up after a lithium-ion battery fire at a San Diego storage ...

Redox flow batteries have a reputation of being second best. Less energy intensive and slower to charge and discharge than their lithium-ion cousins, they fail to meet the performance requirements of ...
