Safer Batteries for Storing Energy at Massive Scale
Among the enduring challenges of storing energy is batteries that can hold large amounts of electricity for a long time. In addition to having a large capacity – potentially enough to power a neighborhood or small city for days or weeks – ideally, these batteries would be safe, affordable, and environmentally harmless. With an eye toward meeting those benchmarks, researchers at Case Western Reserve University are developing novel electrolytes—fluids that can conduct ions—for rechargeable flow batteries.
