The study used for the first time a dissolved simple sugar called β-cyclodextrin, a derivative of starch, to boost battery longevity and capacity. Through a series of experiments, the ratio of chemicals in the battery system was optimised so it achieved 60% more peak power. The battery was then repeatedly cycled for more than a year.
A promising technology for performing that task is the flow battery, an electrochemical device that can store hundreds of megawatt-hours of energy — enough to keep thousands of homes running for many hours on a single charge. Flow batteries have the potential for long lifetimes and low costs in part due to their unusual design.
