Scientists have been looking for solutions in gravity energy storage , thermal or geothermal storage , and also molten-salt batteries. A recent study from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) looks at molten-salt batteries that can “freeze” their charge for months until required.

Upon discharge from a nuclear reactor, the UNF is initially stored in steel-lined concrete pools surrounded by water. Most of the nation’s used fuel is stored at more than 70 reactor sites across the country. It is later removed from the pools and placed into dry storage casks with protective shielding. Award amount: $1,580,774).

Liquefied molten salt is circulated into the receiver, where it is heated to about 1,000 °F (about 538 °C), then stored in a large insulated tank. The energy from this stored molten salt is available on-demand to drive a steam turbine to create electricity.

Researchers are working on ways to store more energy in the cathode materials by increasing nickel content. Nickel-rich cathode materials have real potential to store more energy. These carry advantages for storing and discharging energy faster. (Image courtesy of Jie Xiao | Pacific Northwest National Laboratory).

The hydrogen, in turn, is then reacted with carbon dioxide to make methanol and water, thus allowing it to be stored as a liquid. Further exploring the potential of this method should cause advances in molten-salt chemistry, surface science, catalyst preparation, and reaction engineering.
