Researchers demonstrate efficient solar energy storage in a chemical liquid

One of the big challenges for solar energy systems is finding an efficient and cost-effective means of storing excess electricity that can be supplied whenever and wherever it is needed, instead of being limited to daytime. An article in Chalmers Chemistry and Chemical Engineering News stated that the latest version of a Swedish-designed, liquid-based energy […]

Ancient technology provides solution for energy storage

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are re-adapting ancient technology as a low-cost method to store carbon-free energy, effectively removing one of the main barriers to its large-scale adoption. Firebricks, which are essentially clay items designed to withstand high temperatures, can be incorporated into a system which would convert excess electricity into heat […]
