Scientists at Stanford have developed a battery that uses nanotechnology to create electricity from the difference in salt content between fresh water and sea water. The researchers hope to use the ...

Chinese scientists have created a new type of water-based battery that is more efficient at storing energy than standard lithium-ion batteries. The new battery type is also supposedly safer than ...

As engineers race to develop potential replacements, a global team of researchers just took a step forward on one alternative: a water battery. While a lithium-ion battery is filled with flammable ...

Water is emerging as one of the most intriguing fuels in energy research, not by burning it, but by harvesting the subtle ways it moves, flows, and carries charge. From molecule-sized devices that ...

"Water-in-salt" battery bodes well for greener, safer grid storage By Dario Borghino December 07, 2015 A new battery devised at the University of Maryland uses a high concentration of lithium salts in ...

Both confront the same infrastructural issue: though renewables are cheaper and more widespread than ever before, they’re still at the mercy of clear skies and windy days. And in order to compete with ...

A rechargeable battery developed by researchers from Stanford University employs the difference in salinity between freshwater and saltwater to generate a current. The technology could make it ...

Batteries and water don’t mix, usually. But a new battery designed at Ohio State actually circulates a water-based electrolyte internally. Researchers designed a device called an aqueous solar flow ...

The San Vicente reservoir in San Diego County stores water from as far away as the Colorado River. Pumping water into a smaller reservoir in the surrounding mountains could store excess solar power ...

Researchers have managed to produce electrically charged water by means of a floating water bridge. Together with the Wetsus research centre in The Netherlands, researchers of TU Graz have managed to ...

A team of researchers from the departments of physics and chemistry at Imperial College London have developed a battery prototype using salt water and nontoxic materials that can charge in seconds.
