BESS in Brazil: Feasibility of three strategic approaches
Based on real data from the National Interconnected System between 2024 and 2025, the study evaluates the technical, economic, and regulatory performance of batteries operating as autonomous market agents, behind the meter for consumption shifting, or co-located with distributed solar generation.

Comparing safety profiles of lithium-ion, sodium-ion and solid-state batteries
New research finds that battery safety rankings are not universal but highly dependent on application scenarios, and shows that LFP batteries can emit high levels of hydrogen fluoride, challenging their reputation as the “safest” chemistry.
New design specifications for sodium-ion batteries
U.S. scientists used density functional theory to reveal how sodium ions are stored in nanoporous carbon anodes for sodium-ion batteries, identifying dual ionic and metallic storage mechanisms within the pores. Their findings provide practical design guidelines to improve battery voltage, safety, and commercial viability for stationary energy storage.

Battery storage in Spain becomes unviable beyond 32 GWh of cumulative capacity, study finds
Scientists from the University of Seville have developed real-time optimization models showing that electricity storage in Spain may be approaching its economic limit, with cumulative capacities above 32 GWh depressing prices and undermining project profitability.
Australia’s national science agency puts battery chemistries to test in tropical conditions
Researchers from Australia’s national science agency have teamed with Malaysian authorities to explore how different battery chemistries perform under tropical stressors like heat, humidity and corrosion, and what this means for durability, safety and cost-effectiveness.
