MIT Energy Initiative report supports energy storage paired with renewable energy to achieve clean energy grids.

Engineers have developed a glucose power source that could fuel miniature implants and sensors.

New understanding of metal electrolysis could help optimize production of metals like lithium and iron.

The design could someday enable a fully decarbonized power grid, researchers say.

The rechargeable battery can be woven and washed, and could provide power for fiber-based electronic devices and sensors.

A new way of processing rare-earth and other key metals to separate them from other materials could reduce environmental impact and cost.

Researchers make the case for a semisolid electrochemical compound as a cost-efficient, grid-scale battery backup for wind and solar power.

A new study finds that investments in R&D on materials and chemistry were key, while economies of scale contributed less.

Analyzing California’s power system, MITEI researchers show that hydrogen-generated electricity is a cost-competitive candidate for backing up wind and solar.

Interest is growing in mining the ocean for valuable metals. A new study helps gauge the extent of the impact.
