‘Liquid battery’: Scientists discover way to store electricity in liquid fuel | The ‘liquid battery’ stores excess renewable energy as isopropanol, a liquid alcohol that serves as a high-density hydrogen carrier.
Stanford researchers unveil a groundbreaking 'liquid battery' technology that could revolutionize renewable energy storage.
By utilizing a carefully designed catalyst system, the researchers were able to directly convert electrical energy into isopropanol, a liquid alcohol that serves as a high-density hydrogen carrier. One of the key findings of the Stanford study was the unexpected efficiency of cobaltocene, a compound of the relatively abundant and inexpensive metal cobalt, as a co-catalyst in the hydrogen storage process. As the technology continues to evolve, it could play a crucial role in mitigating climate change and ensuring a reliable energy supply for future generations.
