Second-life batteries turned into storage system with capacity of up to 1 MWh
Power ESS is a new storage system made from second-life lithium-ion batteries from electric vehicles and has been proposed by Spanish manufacturer Beeplanet as a solution for the commercial and industrial, primary, and construction sectors.
Turkey introduces secondary legislation for storage
The new provisions are aimed at implementing the primary legislation introduced in February 2020. The Turkish storage market may reach a size of 1 GWh per year within the next two years.
Indian states must start planning for utility-scale battery storage
A new IEEFA report says that state governments across India need to start developing plans to incentivize investments in utility-scale battery storage – just as they did for solar.
Harvard scientists unveil solid-state lithium battery that can be charged and discharged at least 10,000 times
US scientists have created a new design for lithium-metal, solid-state batteries that should avoid the formation of dendrites that grow into the electrolyte. Their multilayered battery could potentially recharge electric vehicles within 10 to 20 minutes.
Best membrane for non-aqueous redox flow batteries
A Chinese-Finnish research team has identified composite membranes as the best future option for non-aqueous redox flow batteries.
Exploring defects in a solid-state electrolyte
Scientists in the U.S. used sophisticated imaging techniques to observe previously unknown defects in the crystalline structure of a solid-state electrolyte. The scientists theorize that these defects could play an important role in the electrolyte’s performance, and that designing them more carefully into the material could have impressive results.
