The University of Akron researchers have recently published their findings that pertain to a future where electric vehicles would have the ability to charge and retain power anywhere and anytime without any delays by using solar and wind energy resources as the recharging elements. The team further notes quantifiable energy storage methods for these solutions and note that the excessive electricity produced will not go waste. The team scrapped the sale of electric vehicles to be growing at an exponential rate and hence denoted the use of renewable energy resource in order to power them. The team noted that the U.S. registered more than 1.8 million EVs in the 2020 which is more than 3 times than its national average from the year 2016. Just as gas stations function in the real world, electricity power stations would require a unique format of storage system in order to keep the station at an instantly charging position at any given time.
The team suggested a low cost and scalable version of redox flow batteries (RFB) in order to store and dispense the highly based energy demands; however, the current versions of RFB are considered to be extremely volatile and environmentally unstable. The team suggested a format of organic based electrolytes that can be sourced from renewable energy resources that can be further manufactured with a very low attaching cost. The lack of any stable water-soluble organic electrolyte material that can round the effect of a catholyte seemed to be a major hurdle of AORFBs. The team focused their attention on high performance RFBs that will enrich the category of electricity energy storages based systems and complete the incoming shortcomings of intermittent renewable energy resources that would improve the usability of electricity powered facilities such as EVs.
