Abstract Intense literature and research efforts have focussed on the exploration of complex hydrides for energy storage applications over past decades. A focus was dedicated to determination their thermodynamic hydrogen properties, due high gravimetric volumetric capacities, but application has been limited because harsh working conditions reversible release uptake. The present review aims at appraising recent advances different hydride systems, coming from proficient collaborative...
Abstract The development of efficient storage systems is one the keys to success energy transition. There are many ways store energy, but among them, electrochemical particularly valuable because it can electrons produced by renewable energies with a very good efficiency. However, solutions currently available on market remain unsuitable in terms capacity, recharging kinetics, durability, and cost. Technological breakthroughs therefore expected meet growing need for storage. Within framework...
Solid-state magnesium electrolytes may pave the way for novel types of rechargeable, sustainable, and cheap batteries with high volumetric gravimetric capacities. There are, however, currently no solid-state that fulfill requirements battery applications.
