Iron-air batteries use a reversible rusting process to store and release electricity using abundant materials like iron and water. These “100-hour batteries” could solve renewable energy’s biggest ...

When there’s extra wind or solar power on the grid in the Netherlands, some of it now goes to a new type of battery made from just three components: iron, air, and water. Called an iron-air battery, ...

Construction of an iron-air battery storage system at the soon-to-be-retired Comanche Generating Station south of Pueblo could get underway early next year. Xcel Energy and its partners, Form Energy ...

California is preparing to test an unconventional battery system that could provide clean power for days instead of hours, a key step toward reducing dependence on lithium-ion storage and natural gas ...

The CEC approved funding to build a long-duration energy storage project today similar to the one shown above. Source: Form Energy. The California Energy Commission (CEC) has approved a $30 million ...

As low-cost iron-air batteries enter commercial production, they promise to make utility-scale wind and solar power even more competitive with fossil-derived electricity. Low-cost iron-air cells, ...

Monash University researchers have developed a cobalt-iron catalyst that significantly improves the performance and enhances the lifespan of zinc-air batteries, achieving remarkable stability over ...

Lithium batteries dominate today’s rechargeable battery market, and while they have been wildly successful, challenges with lithium have spurred research into alternative chemistries that can improve ...

We've long relied on lithium-ion batteries for long-term energy storage, but they can be expensive to produce and maintain over the years. California-based startup Inlyte wants to offer a scalable ...

There’s an exciting new development in the global race to discover next-gen battery tech. Iron-air batteries are finally ready to be tested in real-world applications, with major disruptive potential ...
