Stanford Researchers Create Liquid Metal Flow Battery Optimized For Energy Storage
The team has developed a liquid metal solution made from sodium and potassium — both of which are non-toxic, abundant and inexpensive — that acts at the anode for a flow battery.
The best part is, the liquid metal solution is effective at room temperature.
Theoretically, this liquid metal has at least 10 times the available energy per gram as other candidates for the negatively charged fluid in a flow battery, according to Science Daily.
