A team of Stanford chemists believe that liquid organic hydrogen carriers can serve as batteries for long-term renewable energy storage. The storage of energy could help smooth the electrical grid and ...

Since winds and sunlight - two of the most popular sources of renewable energy - are unpredictable forces of nature, various energy storage technologies have been developed to store power for later ...

Scientists at U.C. Santa Barbara have developed a new kind of “liquid battery” that can capture sunlight and release it later as heat, a breakthrough researchers say could help solve one of renewable ...

Batteries are usually thought of as solid and rigid. You put them in a remote or a phone, and they sit there quietly doing their job. But that image may soon change. A team of Swedish scientists has ...

A team aims to improve options for renewable energy storage through work on an emerging technology -- liquids for hydrogen storage. As California transitions rapidly to renewable fuels, it needs new ...

It can be argued that one of biggest hurdles in proliferation of renewable energy is the inability to store the energy in a cost effective manner. Pursuing this endeavor, a team of researchers from ...

Electric vehicles have advanced rapidly over the past decade, but battery technology remains the ...

When the sun goes down, solar panels stop working. This is the fundamental hurdle of renewable energy: how to save the sun’s power for a rainy day — or a cold night. Chemists at UC Santa Barbara have ...

As California transitions rapidly to renewable fuels, it needs new technologies that can store power for the electric grid. Solar power drops at night and declines in winter. Wind power ebbs and flows ...
