US Plans New Water-Powered Battery Tech to Target Gird-Scale Energy Storage

The Aqueous Battery Consortium, comprising Stanford University, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, and 13 other institutions, aims to overcome batteries’ major limitations by using water as the primary component of its electrolyte.

On September 3, the US Department of Energy (DOE) selected the Aqueous Battery Consortium as an energy hub research project. Under the DOE’s Energy Innovation Hubs program, the consortium could receive up to $62.5 million over five years.
