Dr. Fabiana D’Isanto and Andrea Baggio from Politecnico di Torino had this week a research visit at SINTEF in Trondheim, helping to prepare and seal an All-Liquid Battery pilot cell.
SOLSTICE Publication MDPI Batteries
SOLSTICE has published the first joint paper for work package 6 „Molten salt electrolyte“ in the journal “MDPI Batteries”. The paper entitled „AlCl3-NaCl-ZnCl2 Secondary Electrolyte in Next-Generation ZEBRA (Na-ZnCl2) Battery“ is part of the Special Issue on „High Performance Sodium Rechargeable Batteries and Beyond“. https://www.mdpi.com/2313-0105/9/8/401
SOLSTICE at SUPEHR23 conference
Dr. William Nash and Dr. Norbert Weber from HZDR presented the all-liquid battery research on the SUPEHR23 conference.
Book „Monetizing Energy Storage“ now available
The new book about the cost of energy storage by SOLSTICE project members Dr. Oliver Schmidt and Dr. Iain Staffell from Imperial College London is now available free of charge at https://global.oup.com/academic/product/monetizing-energy-storage-9780192888174
Julian Waas successfully submitted his thesis entitled „Dynamic techno-economic modelling for Na-Zn Liquid Metal Batteries“ which he performed in frame of the SOLSTICE project.
Following the International Sodium Battery Symposium (SBS-4), SOLSTICE partners from Empa, HZDR, Politecnico di Torino, and SINTEF took the opportunity to meet at HZDR to discuss current findings and next steps. https://www.ikts.fraunhofer.de/en/communication/events/sbs4.html
All-Liquid Battery internship at SINTEF
MSc student Sophie Tønneberg has this summer been working with the All-Liquid Battery technology in the SOLSTICE project. During her eight-week-long internship at SINTEF, Sophie has focused on different Na electrode designs, and how they perform when cycling the battery cell. Photo: SINTEF / C. Sommerseth
