Sadoway and MIT team demonstrate calcium-metal-based liquid metal battery

Green Car Congress

MIT professor Donald Sadoway and his team have demonstrated a long-cycle-life calcium-metal-based liquid-metal rechargeable battery for grid-scale energy storage, overcoming the problems that have precluded the use of the element: its high melting temperature, high reactivity and unfavorably high solubility in molten salts.

report by the International Energy Agency (IEA). Software also allows for the decoupling of the internal mechanical connections needed in an ICE vehicle, permitting an EV to be controlled remotely or autonomously. They can be refurbished, rebuilt and reused in EVs , or repurposed into storage devices for homes, businesses or the grid.
