Researchers develop lithium-ion batteries that keep working even in sub-zero temperatures, showing potential for use in future space missions
Lithium-ion batteries became the global standard for power that they are because of one simple reason: They just work. They’ve been used to power all sorts of things from consumer electronic gadgets to industrial-level devices. Now a team of researchers in China has managed to come up with a method that could completely remove one […]

Hydrogen-bromide flow batteries could soon power the renewable energy industry (but release a dangerous, toxic gas)
An energy storage concept from the Radical ’60s could solve the biggest problem of the wind energy sector. In an article published in ScienceDaily, Kansas researchers have developed a viable hydrogen-bromine flow battery that could store excess electricity during the night. Anyone who has been in the Midwest is bound to run across a wind farm sooner […]

Zinc battery breakthrough may allow homes to efficiently store energy for off-grid use
Since the early 1990s, scientists have attempted to create a battery that would replace the standard lithium-ion variety. The difficulty in such a project lay in the energy density of the power source. Scientists found that while other materials proved to be more energy-efficient, their cycles were, if anything, pathetic. Hope was sparked several years […]
