Yao talks about new energy storage

Explore energy storage fundamentals, technologies, and grid-scale deployment strategies in this comprehensive Stanford lecture by energy expert Adrian Yao. more Introduces energy. . Adrian Yao is the Founder and Team Lead of STEER, a DOE-funded initiative at Stanford's Precourt Institute for Energy and SLAC. STEER focuses on the intersection of engineering, economics, and innovation to guide “what to build, where to innovate, and how to invest. Yao has led research on the fundamental study of energy storage materials and devices, spanning from solid state batteries for electric vehicles to multivalent ion batteries and aqueous batteries for grid. . Abstract: The global clean energy industry relies heavily on lithium-ion batteries. As electric vehicles and grid energy storage continue to gain market share, the United States is expected to increasingly rely on imported raw materials (nickel and lithium) for lithium-ion batteries due to the lack. . Lithium-ion batteries are currently the preferred technology to power electric vehicles, but they're too expensive for long-duration grid-scale energy storage systems, and lithium itself is becoming more challenging to access.
