1. Simplified electrical grid with energy storage. Inset: Hydronium ion figures
A new type of battery developed by Oregon State University shows promise for sustainable, high-power energy storage. It’s the world’s first battery to use only hydronium ions as the charge carrier. The new battery provides an additional option for researchers, particularly in the area of stationary storage. Stationary storage refers to batteries in a permanent location that store grid power – including power generated from alternative energy sources such as wind turbines or solar cells – for use on a standby or emergency basis.
Hydronium, H3O+, is a positively charged ion produced when a proton is added to a water molecule...
