Researchers in the UK have developed a ‘hybrid-electric-hydrogen’ flow battery, based upon the design of a nanoscale battery that can store energy, releasing the power on demand as electric power or hydrogen gas that can be used as fuel. When a concentrated liquid containing the nano-molecules is made, the amount of energy it can store increases by almost 10 times. Electric cars could be charged in seconds, as the material is a pumpable liquid. This could mean that the battery of an electric car could be “recharged” in roughly the same length of time as petrol cars can be filled up. The old battery liquid would be removed at the same time and recharged ready to be used again… read more. TECHNICAL ARTICLE
