Mobile battery energy storage technology in the United States -Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment
Recently, researchers at Stanford University in the United States developed a new material combination that helps to create a rechargeable battery that can efficiently store a large amount of renewable energy generated by wind, solar, etc. With further development, this technology can deliver energy to the power grid quickly, at low cost and under normal ambient temperature.
This technology is called mobile battery technology, which has long been considered as one of the options for storing intermittent renewable energy. However, so far, the types of liquids that can generate electric current have the following disadvantages: limited by the energy that can be transferred; Very high temperatures are required; Highly toxic or very expensive chemicals are required.
The assistant professor of materials science and engineering at Stanford University and his doctoral students decided to try potassium and sodium. They mix potassium and sodium into liquid metals at room temperature, which serve as the electron donor or cathode fluid of the battery. In theory, compared with other materials, this liquid metal has at least 10 times the available energy per gram. The researcher said: "We still have a lot of work to do. This is a new and affordable mobile battery, which can use the rich materials on the earth to make more efficient use of solar energy and wind energy."(Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment)
