PNNL study outlines requirements for grid storage, reviews four electrochemical energy storage systems: vanadium redox flow, Na-beta, Li-ion and lead-carbon

Green Car Congress

Classification of potential electrical storage for stationary applications. ESS technologies can be broadly classified into two groups: those that store electricity directly in electrical charges (e.g., The most commonly used systems today work by converting electricity to kinetic (e.g., Click to enlarge.

KAUST uses laser pulses to boost performance of MXene electrode

Green Car Congress

Graphite contains flat layers of carbon atoms, and during battery charging, lithium atoms are stored between these layers in a process called intercalation. The researchers made an anode from the laser-scribed material and tested it in a lithium-ion battery over 1000 charge-discharge cycles. Resources Bayhan, Z., El-Demellawi, J.

Report: VW invests in novel energy storage company QuantumScape and its solid-state “All Electron Battery”

Green Car Congress

Volkswagen executives have been hinting for awhile now about taking a different approach to high-energy-density electrical storage for long-range electric vehicles than the more “conventional” next-generation Li-ion or Li-metal battery pathways. conventional capacitors). roughly the same as the target.

Swedish researchers explore use of carbon fiber as active electrode in structural battery for electric vehicles

Green Car Congress

Woven carbon fiber can act as an electrode for lithium ion batteries. Researchers in Sweden are exploring the use of carbon fiber as an active electrode in a multifunctional structural Li-ion battery in an electric car; i.e., electrical storage is incorporated into the body of the car.

BMW i home energy storage system integrates 2nd-life i3 vehicle batteries

Green Car Congress

The battery storage system also includes a voltage converter and power electronics to manage the energy flow between renewable energy sources, the house interface, and the Li-Ion high-voltage battery from the BMW i3. In 2014, BMW integrated high-voltage batteries into a stationary storage system in Hamburg.
