Materials for chemical and electrochemical energy storage are key for a diverse range of applications, including batteries, hydrogen storage, sunlight conversion into fuels, and thermal energy storage.
1. Active materials for energy storage that require a certain structural and chemical flexibility, for instance, as intercalation compounds for hydrogen storage or as cathode materials. 2. Novel catalysts that combine high (electro-) chemical stability and selectivity. 3. Solid-state ionic conductors for batteries and fuel cells.
Energy storage involves converting energy from forms that are difficult to store to more conveniently or economically storable forms. Some technologies provide short-term energy storage, while others can endure for much longer. Bulk energy storage is currently dominated by hydroelectric dams, both conventional as well as pumped.
Improvement in the energy storage materials leading to high capacity, longer cycling life, improved safety issues and being reliable will accelerate the commercialization of some of these energy storage medium and their usage in other portable and automotive applications.
More recently, highly crystalline conductive materials—such as metal organic frameworks (33 – 35), covalent organic frameworks (36), MXenes, and their composites, which form both 2D and 3D structures—have been used as electrodes for energy storage.
Some technologies provide short-term energy storage, while others can endure for much longer. Bulk energy storage is currently dominated by hydroelectric dams, both conventional as well as pumped. Grid energy storage is a collection of methods used for energy storage on a large scale within an electrical power grid.
