It promises 50 percent efficiency when storing power and 80 percent when producing hydrogen – with an estimated life expectancy of ten years.
Such long-term storage solutions are necessary, given the unpredictable nature of such resources. Such uncertainty has prompted authorities to maintain conventional power plants, sustain a "complex dual power infrastructure, burn fossil fuels, and hold back the transition to renewables."The beginning point for the research was the conventional zinc anode battery designs.
"This is a unique combination of a regular battery and a source for hydrogen, with a total electrical storage efficiency of 50%, which is double the efficiency of other, currently preferred power-to-gas systems," Dr. Robert Hahn of Fraunhofer IZM, who is in charge of coordinating the work on the project.
The new system uses energy stored during charging in metallic zinc, with Hydrogen being held in the water of the electrolyte at ambient pressure and significantly higher density than pressurized or liquid hydrogen gas. "During discharge, the metallic zinc is converted into zincate, and the cell releases hydrogen and 8.

One Side of This White Dwarf is Covered in Hydrogen While the Other Side is Helium.Here's a new one. Astronomers have found a white dwarf star - the dead remnant from a main sequence star like the Sun - with one hemisphere composed of hydrogen while the other is covered in helium. The star was discovered with the Zwicky Transient Facility, revealing that it rotates every 15 minutes. Spectroscopic data unveiled its two-sided nature. What?! Also. How?! Some white dwarfs transition from hydrogen- to helium-dominated surfaces, and astronomers might have caught it in the act.
