Air Energy launches to bring solid-state lithium-air batteries closer to commercialization
While some may call it a fairytale chemistry, solid-state lithium-air battery (SS-LAB) technology is now a step closer to commercial reality with the foundation of Air Energy. The startup has set out to scale the application of this promising technology over the next five years.

TU Munich, Max Planck Society establish German solar battery research center
The facility, in Garching, near Munich, will research technology that combines solar cells and batteries in a single component and can chemically store solar energy directly. Researchers expect high efficiency and fast charging and discharging processes to result. The solar batteries examined can also be used off grid.
Storing solar energy as heat in synthetic molecules for future energy storage systems
German researchers are testing lab-made molecules designed to absorb, store, and release solar energy on demand, acting as 'heat batteries'. The researchers say their method is more efficient at storing solar energy compared to conventional thermal heat storage systems.
New standalone liquid air energy storage system concept beats conventional system with efficiency boost
Korean scientists have designed a liquid air energy storage (LAES) technology that reportedly overcomes the major limitation of LAES systems – their relatively low round-trip efficiency. The novel system enhances efficiency by increasing power output through the generation of thermal energy using natural gas as the external fuel during energy release.
