Owing to almost unmatched volumetric energy density, Li-ion batteries have dominated the portable electronics industry and solid state electrochemical literature for the past 20 years. Not only will that continue, but they ar...

Energy Storage - Part I: Batteries and Energy Conversion Systems

This special issue presents a review of recent advances in electrochemical energy storage, battery management systems, and power electronics for grid-scale energy storage applications. The importance of energy storage across the entire electricity infrastructure is growing rapidly. In particular, this is highlighted by the urgent need to address the intermittency challenge caused by the large-s...

Hydrogen or batteries for grid storage? A net energy analysis

Energy storage is a promising approach to address the challenge of intermittent generation from renewables on the electric grid. In this work, we evaluate energy storage with a regenerative hydrogen fuel cell (RHFC) using net energy analysis. We examine the most widely installed RHFC configuration, containing an alkaline water electrolyzer and a PEM fuel cell. To compare RHFC’s to other storage...

Reversible Energy Storage on a Fuel Cell-supercapacitor Hybrid Device

Full open-framework batteries for stationary energy storage.

New types of energy storage are needed in conjunction with the deployment of renewable energy sources and their integration with the electrical grid. We have recently introduced a family of cathodes involving the reversible insertion of cations into materials with the Prussian Blue open-framework crystal structure. Here we report a newly developed manganese hexacyanomanganate open-framework ano...
