A new system combining lithium-iodine batteries and solar cells — an aqueous lithium−iodine solar flow battery — has been created by researchers at Ohio State University. The new battery system promises energy savings of nearly 20% as compared to conventional lithium-iodine batteries, according to the researchers involved. Interestingly, the new work is intended to serve as a design that can be broadly applied to other metal-redox flow battery systems, according to those involved. The new…
