Solar power than lithium ion battery can become the future of energy storage energy

Now, for clean, cheap, and able to cope with the challenge of modern new type of energy storage solutions of the demand is higher than ever before. We need it to help manage the proportion of renewable energy in the power grid rising problem, make the grid community from diesel and fossil fuels, and connect communities currently don't have access to electricity.

Sydney university of science and technology ( ut) Researchers claim, solar energy, they have developed a kind of combining hydrogen and solid material such as nanometer magnesium to store hydrogen system. Aguey - Zinsou professor can provide new technologies as low as 2 cents per KWH of energy, and is expected to be in a few weeks for the patent,

these lithium elements with similar chemical properties, has been widely studied. Recent examples use their innovation are sodium ion batteries, SIB) , potassium ion battery ( ZIB) And aluminum ion battery ( AIB) 。

however, photovoltaic (pv) grid, while the REDOX potential, energy density and cell promising potential applications, but due to lack of proper electrode materials, the LIB alternatives ( The so-called & other; Super LIB” ) The development of the block.

company introduced professor wang, director of the center for clean energy technology & other; Super lithium ion batteries with high energy density, low cost and large-scale energy storage applications are very promising. However, the main challenge is to develop appropriate electrode materials. ”

in the team to a new study describes the 2 d graphene nano materials used in the surface strain engineering strategy, it can produce a new type of cathode. Strain engineering is mechanical or structural properties by changing the material to fine-tune the process of material performance. Professor wang:

& other; Through the two-dimensional multilayer vopo4 - Graphene heterostructure surface strain engineering, solar energy, the study presents a new zero strain cathode, used in the lithium ion ( Na +, K +, Zn2 +, solar panels, Al3 +) The reversible inserted layer. ”

, according to researchers in K + ion battery as a cathode, they implement mahg - 160 The ratio of 1 d capacity and ~ 570 WHKG - 1 big energy density. Solar power grid, they said, this is by far the best performance. In addition, the preparation of 2 d multi-layer heterogeneous structure can also be extended to high-performance SIB, ZIB and the cathode of AIB.

due to the development of advanced energy storage solutions is one of the biggest challenges faced by lack of proper cathode material, so the team's research may prove to be a promising project, the 2 d strain of materials engineering for advanced energy storage applications.
