Scientists have found a way to push zinc–bromine flow batteries to the next level. By trapping corrosive bromine with a simple molecular scavenger, they were able to remove a major barrier to the ...

Energy storage is becoming increasingly important to the power industry. Lithium-ion battery technology has been implemented in many locations, but flow batteries offer significant benefits in ...

A new iron-based aqueous flow battery shows promise for grid energy storage applications. A commonplace chemical used in water treatment facilities has been repurposed for large-scale energy storage ...

Redox flow batteries have a reputation of being second best. Less energy intensive and slower to charge and discharge than their lithium-ion cousins, they fail to meet the performance requirements of ...

The development of large-scale energy storage systems is considered crucial when it comes to future-proofing the electrical grid. The ability to store energy at scale could facilitate the energy ...

Eddies are large, rotating currents that contribute to ocean mixing and transport of heat and salt in seawater. Importantly, ...

Flow-style batteries are already demonstrating the potential to dramatically cut the cost of energy storage used to capture the excess output of grid-scale wind and solar plants for later use. A rapid ...

Eddy-mean energy exchange plays an essential role in ocean circulation and climate variability. This study decomposed the eddy-mean kinetic energy exchange into three parts, and linked them with ...
