What is Stanford Energy's storagex initiative?

Stanford Energy’s StorageX Initiative brings together Stanford faculty from materials science to computer science to economics to tackle the dominant challenges in energy storage.

What are Stanford's new energy research projects?

The four new projects aim for decarbonized cement, large-scale hydrogen storage, a reliable electric grid, and more natural ventilation in buildings. Stanford University’s Precourt Institute for Energy selected four new research projects to support through its Strategic Energy Research Consortium.

What is Stanford doing about battery technology?

Batteries are one of the biggest topics of Stanford energy research. Scientists and engineers are testing a wide variety of promising, low-cost battery materials, including lithium-metal, nickel-iron and aluminum.

Do we need affordable grid-scale energy storage?

We need affordable, grid-scale energy storage that will work dependably for a long time,” said the project’s director, Yi Cui, a Stanford professor of materials science and engineering, of energy science and engineering, and of photon science at SLAC.

What is a battery-centered Energy Innovation Hub?

The other battery-centered Energy Innovation Hub announced today by the DOE is the Energy Storage Research Alliance, led by Argonne National Laboratory. “This project will undertake the grand challenge of electrochemical energy storage in a world dependent on intermittent solar and wind power.
