A group of scientists from the German research institute Fraunhofer Umsicht claims to have reduced the production costs of redox flow batteries by redesigning one of its main components – the stack.

A new flow battery design achieves long life and capacity for grid energy storage from renewable fuels. A common food and medicine additive has shown it can boost the capacity and longevity of a ...

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 ...

The redox flow battery — an emerging energy-storage technology — could enable diesel-powered microgrids to run off renewable energy instead. Solar- or wind-powered microgrids are a hot topic in many ...

A new research project at the Department of Engineering, Aarhus University, will develop highly efficient, but inexpensive, components in flow batteries. The aim is to disrupt the field of stationary ...

A UK consortium is developing an organic flow battery technology that could be used in ports to supply power to visiting vessels and in-port assets such as cranes and port vehicles. The ...

As a storage solution for renewable energy, scientists see great potential in what are known as redox flow batteries, which hold energy in large tanks rather than compact electrode materials. A new ...

Flow-style batteries are demonstrating the potential to dramatically cut the cost of energy storage. A rapid prototyping and test system developed by Pacific Northwest National Labs uses a ...
