Each year, Lawrence Livermore National Lab provides an outline of the US' energy economy in the form of a giant flow chart that tracks all the major sources of energy, from solar to petroleum, and ...

Researchers have developed a new electrode component for vanadium redox flow batteries that is said to outperform current solutions, thanks to the inclusion of an ingredient found in shrimp shells ...

V-flow batteries are fully containerized, nonflammable, compact, reusable over semi-infinite cycles, discharge 100% of the stored energy and do not degrade for more than 20 years.

Flow-style batteries are demonstrating the potential to dramatically cut the cost of energy storage. A rapid prototyping and test system developed by Pacific Northwest National Labs uses a ...
