New rechargeable flow battery enables cheaper, large-scale energy storage
Boston MA (SPX) Aug 20, 2013 - MIT researchers have engineered a new rechargeable flow battery that doesn't rely on expensive membranes to generate and store electricity. The device, they say, may one day enable cheaper, large-scale energy storage. The palm-sized prototype generates three times as much power per square centimeter as other membraneless systems - a power density that is an order of magnitude higher than t ... morehttp://www.energy-daily.com/reports/New_rechargeable_flow_battery_enables_cheaper_large_scale_energy_storage_999.html
