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 ...

Vanadium flow batteries are one of the most promising technologies for large-scale energy storage, due to their long cycle life, excellent recyclability, and low fire risk. However, their uptake is ...

China has switched on a record‑breaking vanadium flow battery in Xinjiang, pairing it directly with a 1 gigawatt solar farm to soak up desert sunshine and feed it back into the grid after dark. The ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. California is taking a small step towards its long-term goal of ...

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 firm in China has announced the successful completion of world’s largest vanadium flow battery project – a 175 megawatt (MW) / 700 megawatt-hour (MWh) energy storage system. The Xinhua Ushi ESS ...

Over the past decade, efforts to achieve carbon-neutral operations have emphasized renewable and sustainable energy sources. These sources, however, often produce power inconsistently, making it ...

A redox flow battery operates on the electrochemical principle of storing and generating electricity through oxidation and reduction reactions between distinct active materials, hence called "Redox" ...

RICHLAND, Wash.—Sometimes, in order to go big, you first have to go small. That’s what researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have done with their latest ...
