A new twist on bromine-based flow batteries could make large-scale energy storage cheaper, safer, and far longer-lasting. Bromine-based flow batteries store and release energy through a chemical ...

The results disclosed that the battery operated stably for more than 700 cycles at a current density of 40 milliamperes per ...

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 ...

There is a gap in the market for long-duration energy storage (LDES), according to US-based manufacturer ESS Inc. – one which can’t be plugged with lithium-ion chemistry. Hugh McDermott, of ESS Inc.

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 ...

ESS's CEO, Eric Dresselhuys (center, wearing a blue jacket), taking a group of reporters on a tour of the company's Energy Warehouse product for commercial and industrial customers and for mini-grid ...

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 International Flow Battery Forum (IFBF) is set to return in June 2025 for its 15th edition, bringing together the global flow battery community to discuss the newest advancements in science, ...

Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands is testing an unusual kind of battery that could prove to be a better, cheaper way to store wind and solar energy. Developed by US startup ESS, the device is known ...

Whether it’s to keep the lights on after a natural disaster or just to avoid peak energy rates, more people than ever are adding battery energy storage to their home solar systems. With some 45% of ...

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 ...
