生產液態金屬電池開始【摘要】創業Ambri將把液態金屬電池技術服務電網明年。又便宜又耐用的電池,鋰離子電池,使用熔融金屬電極和熔鹽電解質。Ambri的測試結果表明,該電池有望保持95%的產能20年後。然而,該公司需要進一步降低成本與傳統電廠競爭。FutureCar員工2023年8月23日,7:11我PT作者:FutureCar員工清潔能源發電的世界充滿了突破性的技術,常常無法實現的承諾。盡管潛在的多層太陽能電池板,波浪和潮汐能源,氫燃料電池,這些技術與低成本競爭和更成熟的選擇。不過,一個技術,是無視這一趨勢是開發的液態金屬電池啟動Ambri。Ambri的電池技術已經能夠擾亂市場,成本的一半左右的鋰電池,每千瓦時405美元。施工方法簡單,利用熔融金屬電極和熔鹽電解液。這不僅讓電池更耐用,也消除了可燃性和退化的風險。 Testing results indicate that even after 20 years, the battery is expected to retain 95% of its capacity. The only potential challenge in scaling this technology could be sourcing antimony, one of the metals required for construction. To truly compete with "base load" power plants, Ambri aims to further reduce the cost of their batteries to around $20 per kilowatt-hour. Currently, they can produce the batteries for $180 to $250 per kilowatt-hour. However, the company projects significant cost reductions by 2030, which could pave the way for renewable energy to power entire electrical grids. It's worth noting that liquid metal batteries are not the only unconventional battery technology attempting to address this challenge. Another promising solution on the horizon is phase-change materials.
