Next Generation Energy Storage

The generation of electric power from wind and solar energy facilities is very volatile and therefore not linked to power consumption. The further development of renewable energy sources is thus dependent on the ability of storing large amounts of energy and their quick release when required. Innovative high-temperature batteries on the basis of metal-metal oxide compounds may provide a feasible alternative to this end. These materials are cost-efficient, non-explosive, not poisonous or only slightly so and are characterised by a great degree of safety.
