This innovative bioinspired design presents a promising pathway for scaling up cement-based energy storage systems to enable low-carbon, self-powered buildings.
Concrete has long built our cities, but researchers now see it as a future power source, too. A new form of electron-conducting carbon concrete, or ec3, can store and release electricity.
New concrete and carbon black supercapacitors with optimized electrolytes have 10 times the energy storage of previous designs and can be incorporated into a wide range of architectural
Projects such as low-emissions cement and energy-storing concrete raise the prospect of a future where our offices, roads and homes play a significant part in a world powered by clean energy.
Scientists have developed concrete with self-healing abilities, concrete that acts as a kind of carbon sink, and concrete that can even increase crop yields. Now scientists from the...
Scientists have been working for the last few years on enhancing concrete – arguably the most common construction material on the planet – to store energy.
Civil engineers at the university found a way to integrate electrically conductive fibers into a cement-based mixture. With this innovation, they could turn concrete slabs into batteries. This...
MIT researchers have improved a new type of "concrete battery" by tenfold, paving the way for its use in turning buildings, bridges and sidewalks into giant energy stores capable of
This novel design significantly outperforms its predecessors in
This study presents the development and characterization of rechargeable cement-based solid-state nickel‑iron batteries designed for the energy storage of self-powered buildings.
This novel design significantly outperforms its predecessors in energy density, marking a tenfold improvement and introducing the world to the first rechargeable version of a concrete battery.
