Solar energy is associated with intermittency issues, as it only generates electricity when the sun shines. Certain PV systems can provide cost-effective power reserves for storing electricity.

Research suggests a shift to electric mobility is technically and economically feasible.
Solid-state batteries offer a promising new solution for electric vehicles, reducing the risks of spontaneous combustion when batteries are damaged or overheating.
Old EV batteries have huge potential. But it’s not going to be easy to realise this.
Discovering new materials could drive forward areas such as green technology and advanced electronics.
The PFAS in lithium-ion batteries is a major obstacle to recycling or disposing of these batteries safely. But we have a way to fix this problem.
Should Canada pull back on its EV ambitions, or double down to secure its position in the global market?
The future of these job-generating gigafactories, many of them in Republican states, could be at risk if the next president tries to wipe out the programs that made them possible.
A new, green theme is shaping relations between China and Africa: the global renewable energy race.
Allowing our spent lithium batteries to be exported free of charge could mean forfeiting a potential $3 billion onshore reprocessing industry.
The company’s fortunes could depend on celebrity CEO Elon Musk keeping focus.
Controversies haunt Indonesia’s ambition for nickel processing. It’s time Indonesia move away from supplying electric vehicle battery material narrative and focus on sustainability.
New charts and data show how corporate demand could boost clean energy investment in regions where renewable energy potential is strong but wind and solar power have lagged.
The new rule isn’t a mandate for electric vehicles, but it will sharply increase their market share over the coming decade.
The temptation to justify critical minerals mining at all costs is a dangerous fallacy. The social and environmental impacts of poorly mined critical minerals are dire.
Lithium-ion battery fires are becoming increasingly common as electric vehicles spread, and are hard to extinguish. A new approach uses an electrolyte based on a commercial fire extinguisher.
Sodium is a cheap and viable alternative to lithium in batteries for low-medium range EVs.
The Biden Administration’s signature climate legislation is unleashing a wave of clean energy investment, along with some opportunities and risks for countries like Australia.
Lithium-ion batteries power many electric cars, bikes and scooters. When they are damaged or overheated, they can ignite or explode. Four engineers explain how to handle these devices safely.
Lithium-ion batteries are holding back the full-scale decarbonization of Canada’s energy grid. Zinc-ion batteries may be the solution.
