Excerpt:
Chinese scientists created a new type of vanadium flow battery stack, which could revolutionize the field of large-scale energy storage. Its main component is its stack, which consists of cells that turn chemical energy into electrical energy. The unique design gives it more energy efficiency and storage while taking up less space.
Renewable energy sources like solar and wind can’t provide a consistent energy flow, so we need dependable methods of storing the power they generate. Also, we need these storage devices to occupy as little space as possible to reduce operating costs. Fortunately, China’s latest energy innovation may solve this problem.
