Meanwhile the US has a president who doesn't understand how magnets work.
Magic is an understanding.
The actual story buried at the end of a Sino #1 article-
In the United States, companies like Oregon-based ESS Tech Inc. are already deploying iron flow systems for tech giants like Google.
However, some of these existing designs could struggle with “dendrites” — tiny, needle-like crystals that can short-circuit the battery. The Chinese team believes they have leapfrogged these hurdles by using an alkaline-based chemistry and their new molecular “shield.”
But at what cost?
Less?
Weird how China is always inventing things that already exist.
It's almost like all they do is copy others.
These types of batteries have been in use for a while they're just not that common as they take up a LOT of space, and there are better options that use less space.
Weird how Americans have such poor reading comprehension. Oh wait, I guess it's your education system.
So you did not read the article. At all.
They seem to have tackled the issue of dendrite forming.
That would reduce maintenance on iron redox flow batteries sigificantly if true.
Spamoflage
I'm starting to see that China may have a large presence on lemmy. It would make sense with the .ml groups. You can see a lot of pro China stuff here plus lemmy is a generator against things like AI which benefits China.
If you don't want to see so much China and Russia-glazing, just block yogthos and jackeroni, that should cut it down about 40%. I personally don't mind agendaposting because I can tell from the get-go who it's coming from. There are prolific anti-China agendaposters too, for example from an account named Scotty.
Or leave our instances
I've seen this article every two weeks for the last 15 years.
Ehh I follow the battery news well enough to know it's different this time.
The way you can tell is that it isn't coming from the MIT press release department.
Honestly, it's a good time for batteries and solar panels.
I think we're just going to let out current infrastructure rot out from under us and while house generators run on gas.
I mean, we could modernize our infrastructure, but we can barely keep bridges standing and I'm not sure if utilities are communism or not. I suspect that they are.
The lithium iron phosphate is already pretty impressive, just a bit pricey.
Revolutionary new battery idea that will overtake lithium ion huh? Throw it on the pile
For grid-storage they may very well be...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_redox_flow_battery
is e.g. in place in Sacramaneto, CA with a storage of 2 GWh and a maximum power of 200 MW.
For grid-storage durability and ovrerall cost efficiency are more important than energy density so I expect redox flow batteries to overtake lithium ion based batteries there.
Meanwhile, Tump fired the entire national science board
Kid Rock is working on a new battery. Game changer.
By the way, what happens with redox-flow battery technology?
Sounds heavy
Not a problem if these are used for grid storage.
Or ships.
Hah ok
