Liquid Metal Batteries May Revolutionize Energy Storage

The liquid-metal battery is an innovative approach to solving grid-scale electricity storage problems. Its capabilities allow improved integration of renewable resources into the

How liquid-metal battery maker Ambri ended up on the auction block

Last year, liquid-metal battery maker Ambri set out to raise a $300 million Series F funding round. The money would have fueled its ambitious manufacturing plans, and made

Beyond Graphite with Tin Foam Battery Electrodes

An innovative use of tin foam could soon transform energy storage. Engineers have long favored graphite for battery electrodes, drawn to its conductivity and reliability. But

Gallium-based smart material can melt and move on command

One metal with a roughly room-temperature melting point is gallium. "For over a decade, we''ve been working with gallium and gallium-based liquid metal alloys for applications

Thermoelectric Device Turns Body into Watch Battery

The liquid metal composite layer effectively transferred thermal energy from the outer surfaces, which absorbed heat from the skin. One of the outer layers, designed as a heat

Liquid metal battery storage specialist Ambri emerges from

After filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, the calcium-antimony liquid metal battery startup incubated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has now

Liquid Metal Electrodes for Energy Storage Batteries

In these batteries, the states of the electrode highly affect the performance and manufacturing process of the battery, and therefore leverage the price of the battery. A battery with liquid

Liquid Metal Batteries: Past, Present, and Future

The traditional lithium-ion battery, excellent in transportation and short-duration use, is costly and degrades over the long run on a grid scale. Liquid metal batteries possess a

Super Soaker Inventor Lonnie Johnson Takes on Green Energy

Compared to traditional liquid-based electrochemical converters, Johnson''s device operates in greater temperature ranges. And while other converters—such as alkali-metal

The Future of Lithium-Ion and Solid-State Batteries

Moving from a liquid electrolyte battery to a solid-state battery might appear to be outside the conventional design, but it''s aimed at leapfrogging present capabilities in energy
