Going with the flow: Renewable energy battery breakthrough
Reported byBBC News ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Researchers at Queen's University Belfast developed a 3D-printed flow battery using iron instead of vanadium, costing roughly £74 instead of £2,000–£3,000, and released the open-source design to the global research community to standardize renewable energy storage research and accelerate deployment.
Flow batteries remain a developing technology and are not yet deployed at grid scale globally, though trials have occurred in Scotland and China.
