READ MOREOur battery technology would enable concrete to store electrical energy as well. It could provide a useful power source for offshore structures, for example, or buildings in remote areas that do not have access to the grid.". Most importantly of all, perhaps, concrete batteries could help with the problem of intermittency – the uneven
READ MOREThe Chalmers researchers'' original idea was to integrate their concrete batteries into rooftop PV to store the surplus solar energy. 5 However, the potential of this invention is its storage capacity scale-up. That''s because you could incorporate this functional concrete into the structure of multi-story buildings to store large volumes of
