2024-06-03 LDES Increasingly Competitive But Unlikely To Match Li-ion’s Cost Reductions
The cost of Lithium-ion batteries is still dropping and sodium-ion batteries use even lower cost materials, so it’s likely that the long duration energy storage – LDES – will not catch up for some time. One LDES is green hydrogen, and hydrogen LDES systems seem to have stagnated, partly due to the falling prices of

2024-05-28 Many More EV Batteries – Solution To Grid Storage
Article about recycling EV batteries versus using EV batteries for stationary storage. At this time, recycling is not very efficient. Quote: ““Today we are not very good at recovering metals, loosing almost all the lithium, silicon, phosphorus, aluminum, and graphite, while recovering only copper, cobalt, and nickel which are more expensive,” he says.”” This suggests

2024-05-12 Giant Batteries Are Transforming the Way the U.S. Uses Electricity
This link to the article is supposed to be free, and *not* behind a paywall. This well-researched article is a good article, with some statements that are disputable. One example is that they state that lithium batteries are flammable. The LFP cells now used in battery storage systems are low to not flammable. There are
