A wind turbine turns wind energy into electricity using the aerodynamic force from the rotor blades, which work like an airplane wing or helicopter rotor blade. When wind flows across the blade, the air pressure on one side of the blade decreases. The difference in air pressure across the two sides of the blade creates both lift and drag.
Hydrogen storage is a relatively new method for storing wind power. It involves using wind power to split water into hydrogen and oxygen through a process called electrolysis. The hydrogen is then stored, and when the power is needed, it can be burned in a fuel cell to generate electricity. Hydrogen storage has a high storage capacity and can ...

Liquid metal batteries (LMBs) hold immense promise for large-scale energy storage. However, normally LMBs are based on single type of cations (e.g., Ca 2+, Li +, Na +), and as a result subject to inherent limitations associated with each type of single cation, such as the low energy density in Ca-based LMBs, the high energy cost in Li …
