Researchers at Stanford are hard at work trying to create a battery that could keep wind and solar energy flowing even when the sun isn’t shining and the air is still. They’ve just released information about their current project, a promising new electrode that could make batteries that would last through at least 40,000 charges and discharges — as compared to current battery technology which degrades irreparably after just 400 charges and discharges. In addition to being durable, long lasting and incredibly strong, the battery that they are working on hits another prime target as well – it is really cheap to build.
