Someday, LOHCs could widely function as "liquid batteries," storing energy and efficiently returning it as usable fuel or electricity when needed. The Waymouth team studies isopropanol and acetone as ingredients in hydrogen energy storage and release systems.
Called the “liquid battery,” this innovative solution offers a promising answer to the intermittent nature of renewable sources like solar and wind power. It paves the way for more sustainable and reliable energy grids, which are currently overwhelmingly reliant on lithium-ion technologies.
"We are developing a new strategy for selectively converting and long-term storing of electrical energy in liquid fuels," said Waymouth, senior author of a study detailing this work in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
“We also discovered a novel, selective catalytic system for storing electrical energy in a liquid fuel without generating gaseous hydrogen.” Batteries used to store electricity for the grid – plus smartphone and electric vehicle batteries – use lithium-ion technologies.
Solid and liquid electrolytes allow for charges or ions to move while keeping anodes and cathodes separate. Separation prevents short circuits from occurring in energy storage devices. Rustomji et al. show that separation can also be achieved by using fluorinated hydrocarbons that are liquefied under pressure.
Liquid batteries Batteries used to store electricity for the grid -- plus smartphone and electric vehicle batteries -- use lithium-ion technologies. Due to the scale of energy storage, researchers continue to search for systems that can supplement those technologies.
