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 innovation in energy ...

Researchers reporting in ACS Energy Letters have devised a battery powered by vitamin B2 (riboflavin) and glucose. Inspired by how human bodies break down glucose for energy using enzymes, the team ...

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 ...

The flow battery is one of the more interesting ideas for grid energy storage – after all, how many batteries combine electron current with fluid current? If you’re interested in trying your hand at ...

Researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have designed a playing card-sized mini-flow battery aimed at accelerating the pace of discovery of new materials for energy storage.

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University are scaling up a prototype iron-flow battery to provide cleaner and cheaper power when renewable energy sources are ebbing or demand is peaking. The ...

A novel battery runs on just glucose and vitamin B2 (riboflavin), according to a new study in ACS Energy Letters. The team developed the battery from a prototype flow cell, drawing inspiration from ...
