Abstract

Finding an efficient solution to store electric energy is an important goal to achieve for both small and large-scale applications. This chapter explores some of the best proposals coming from the research in the field, such as electrochemical batteries, compressed air, pumped water, pumped heat, super-capacitors and other innovative technologies.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Poly-anions are molecules with negative charges positioned in different sites across the molecule structure.

  2. 2.

    Intercalation is the inclusion of a different molecule into a pattern of other different molecules. The inclusion process is usually reversible.

  3. 3.

    A double layer is a structure of two parallel layers of electric charges formed on the surface of a solid immersed in a liquid. One layer is composed by ions adsorbed to the solid surface by chemical reactions, the other is formed due to the electrostatic interactions between the adsorbed ions with the ions in the liquid.
