Can Concrete Batteries Power the Future?
It sounds like science fiction, but the team is making it possible to
In a house where the entire thing is made of energy-storing cement, the whole surface volume of the building material is essentially a battery, meaning that overall, this technology could provide more than enough storage. Further, a cement battery makes solar energy storage more economical.
Further, a cement battery makes solar energy storage more economical. Instead of separately paying for the building's materials and energy storage, this technology combines both in one, saving money overall.
With the need for energy storage growing, many companies and researchers focus on battery energy storage systems (BESS). As the researchers at Chalmers University see it, the solution is to find new forms of energy storage, particularly ones that can be built into our current infrastructure.
In other words, the concrete around us could one day double as giant “batteries.” As MIT researchers report in a new PNAS paper, optimized electrolytes and manufacturing processes have increased the energy storage capacity of the latest ec 3 supercapacitors by an order of magnitude.
