Power storage made of vanillin
Vanillin is useful in more than just Christmas biscuits: researchers at Graz University of Technology have successfully converted flavouring agent vanillin into a redox-active electrolyte material for liquid batteries. Redox flow batteries can now be made more environmentally friendly by replacing their core element – liquid electrolytes with components that are generally made of ecologically harmful heavy metals or rare earths – with vanillin. The technology is a major step towards ecologically sustainable energy storage. More →
