Why airlines are warning over lithium-ion batteries
But flying into Las Vegas in June, the technology journalist saw something he'd never seen before, as worried looking flight crew dashed to the rear of the plane. "There was a glint of fear. They were dour. This was something more than someone being ill. It was something that affected them." As smoke, then distressed passengers emerged from the rear of the plane, it because clear what had happened. A passenger had been using a battery pack during the flight, and it had overheated before bursting into flames with a seat catching fire. Flight crew dropped the device into a container of water, Wodecki says. The plane then landed "fast and aggressively" at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, he explains, where it was met by fire crews on the runway. It was a dramatic end to a routine flight – and it illustrates why flyers are hearing more frequent and more insistent warnings about the dangers of bringing battery powered devices and specifically lithium-ion batteries on flights. These include warnings about trying to retrieve devices that slip into seat and pleas not to put lithium-ion devices in checked luggage. According to Jonathan Nicholson at the UK's Civil Aviation...

CALB in spotlight as GAC Aion S vehicles hit by widespread battery cell defects
Aion S vehicles equipped with CALB's 177-Ah LFP battery cells have seen a surge of complaints over swelling, leakage, and other faults.

As Solar and Batteries Dominate in Texas, Republican Lawmakers Consider Natural Gas Minimums
As new electricity generation skews toward solar and battery storage in Texas, Republican state senators are questioning whether it’s time to impose minimum standards for building gas plants and move away from free trade in the state’s electricity marketplace. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), the state’s grid operator, reported last week that 70 percent of generation in the 460-gigawatt interconnection queue is from solar and battery storage. Natural gas facilities make up less than 17 percent of that line. And while it’s an uptick from three years ago, when there were less than 10 gigawatts of gas power plants seeking to connect, legislators and grid leaders say going forward the current level of planned gas facilities won’t be enough. State Sen. Phil King, a Republican from Weatherford, asked the leaders of ERCOT and the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) at a public hearing last week whether there should be a rule that puts a quota on what share of new generation connecting to the grid comes from fossil fuels. “Should we say that from a point of interconnection that 50 percent—or some percentage of new generation—has to be dispatchable generation as opposed to just letting the market...

Hydrogen-iron flow batteries: How Elestor's tech works
One of the main benefits of flow batteries is their decoupling of power and energy. The power level (MW) is determined by how many electrochemical cells are connected in series in the electrochemical stack and the surface area of the ion-selective membrane between the two electrodes. On the other hand, the capacity (MWh) is determined by the volume of the two electrolytes―the catholyte and anolyte―in the reservoir (and by default, the size of the electrolyte reservoirs). So, unlike traditional batteries where power and capacity scale simultaneously, either power or energy capacity (or both) can be independently scaled to meet LDES requirements for different applications. Different flow battery chemistries use different active materials. Vanadium flow batteries use different valence states of vanadium on either side of the cell. Zinc-bromine flow batteries use positive zinc ions on one side and negative bromine ions on the other. Hydrogen-bromine flow batteries have drawn significant interest because bromine is more abundant than metals like vanadium, though supply can be volatile since most of it originates in the Middle East. Why iron as the redox couple? Elestor’s hydrogen–iron flow battery uses iron, a highly abundant material that isn’t geographically restricted and can even be extracted from...
