Chemists from the University of Glasgow have made a potentially revolutionary breakthrough that could make it possible for future gas stations to supply electric and hydrogen vehicles not only in one place but also with the same pump
.
This new flow battery system, which uses nanomolecules suspended in liquid, not only allows the car to be charged in minutes, but also generates electricity or hydrogen
on demand.
While hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have many of the same advantages as gasoline-powered cars, their current supporting infrastructure is very scarce, and such vehicles are not as common in the market as electric vehicles, which then charge very slowly, usually taking hours
to charge.
Although the two cars will become increasingly popular in the medium term, they will not be compatible in terms of energy supply, and now, the University of Glasgow's new energy storage system may change that
.
A team led by Leroy (Lee) Cronin, professor of chemistry at the University of Glasgow, came up with the idea of a flow battery approach
.
Such a battery allows two different tanks of liquid to flow between the two poles through the same membrane, which allows ions to circulate through the two liquids and generate electricity
.
The beauty of a flow battery is that it can work like a conventional battery or fuel cell, and it can also be charged
by removing the waste liquid and replacing it with a new liquid.
In the case of the University of Glasgow's hybrid electro-hydrogen battery, the liquid used is a suspension of nanomolecules, each of which acts as a small battery
.
At sufficient concentrations, the team says the liquid can store large amounts of energy before releasing it in the form of electricity or hydrogen
.
According to the researchers, the new battery can remove the old liquid and enter the new fluid in a matter of seconds, which means that electric cars charged with this system can be refueled as quickly
as gasoline cars.
The same pump can fuel two vehicles with different energy sources
.
In addition, the system can provide electricity and hydrogen fuel
when great procedural flexibility is required.
