According to a paper published in the journal Nature Communications, the lithium-based redox-flow battery exhibited high voltage and energy density.
“This design significantly decreases material costs,” said Soumalya Sinha, a visiting professor at the University of Cincinnati, in an interview with The Independent. “We’re trying to achieve the same performance at a lower cost.”
Large-scale electrical energy storage systems (EES) are essential for technologies like solar and wind to address the mismatch between the generation and consumption of electrical energy.
Rechargeable batteries are the preferred choice for building advanced EES systems due to their high efficiency and flexible installation.
Among the various battery technologies being explored, redox-flow batteries have garnered particular attention as promising EES systems because of their unique feature of decoupling energy density and power.
The research team has already submitted patent applications for the design.
