Project - Development of the Balasausqandiq Deposit
The Balasausqandiq deposit is a very large black-shale deposit containing vanadium and valuable by-products - uranium, molybdenum, aluminium, rare earth metals and carbon. This deposit is unlike the vast majority of other vanadium deposits, either in production or proposed, in that it is not comprised of vanadiferous titano-magnetite and is amenable to a processing method which is much lower in ...

Ambri Is Still Alive and Chasing Its Liquid Metal Battery Dreams
Among the ranks of lithium-ion alternatives these days, simply staying alive counts as above average. Ambri, the liquid metal battery startup spun out of MIT materials research, has achieved that distinction with flying colors. After halting commercialization to address a technical problem with the seals on its high-temperature battery cells, the company started afresh with a new, lower-cost ...

Repurposing Methylene Blue in Flow Batteries
Methylene blue consists of a blue dye used in the textile industry. A new study, published in mid-August 2018, reveals that the dye can be repurposed for use in redox flow batteries. After establishing that the chemical compound has electrochemical properties, chemists at the University of Buffalo divulged that, as an active ingredient, it can be used to store energy. In the textile industry, ...

Highly-Standardize Batteries for Express Convenience
Batteries of any kind matters to the preservation of renewable energies. Hence, we are referring to the ways of preservation of renewable energies here, including solar and wind energy. In fact, the availability of solar and wind energy is passively argued in several times because solar energy is precisely presence in daylight. Yet, solar power systems can work overnight in a way that experts ...

Saving Renewable Energy for a Rainy Day
Despite advances in renewable energy technologies, one of the largest hurdles in their widespread adoption has been their intermittent reliability. Energy is only useful if it is available as the grid demands it, which is why concerns about carbon emissions are overridden in favor of the more dependable oil, coal and gas for baseload power. In order for renewable sources such as wind and solar ...

Batteries Are the Heart of Renewable Energy
US researchers have made a vital step ahead in the pursuit to amass electricity from irregular energy resources like solar energy and wind energy. A Harvard University group has turned up with a technique to cut down the expenditure of flow battery technology that is competent of storing energy on big scales within an electrical power grid. Grid-scale storage for renewable resources could be a ...

Interview with E. Caglan Kumbur, Ph.D., Asst. Professor, Electrochemical Energy Systems Lab, Department of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics at Drexel University
Energy storage technologies have the potential to improve grid efficiency and reliability by optimizing power flows and supporting variable power supplies. However, storage applications are often costly and don’t always produce achievable returns in every grid scenario. Finding a reliable and profitable strategy within electric storage can be a daunting and confusing task, as utilities ...
