Stanford researchers have developed a sodium-ion battery (SIB) that can store the same amount of energy as a state-of-the-art lithium ion, at substantially lower cost. Thus, further research is required to find better sodium host materials. Thus, further research is required to find better sodium host materials.

We need new storage technologies if more renewables are to be used on the electrical grid; similarly, the electrification of transport requires much cheaper and longer-lasting batteries. The size of these batteries (in comparison to those used for portable electronics) places severe pressure on materials resources.

Flow batteries are safe, stable, long-lasting, and easily refilled, qualities that suit them well for balancing the grid, providing uninterrupted power, and backing up sources of electricity. The design returned to life in the mid-20th century, was developed for possible use on a moon base, and was further improved for use in grid storage.

Comparison of commercially available electric vehicles driving range to recharge time (min) (for a full recharge), abbreviated as MPM (and for use akin to MPG). This limits the current application of RFBs to backup in grid balancing; they are not being widely considered for mobile applications. —Herya and Sundaresan.
