The waste molecule, triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO), is produced in the manufacture of products like vitamin tablets. A new process discovered by scientists at Northwestern University in the US turns it into a useful agent for storing energy that could replace rare metals in some situations.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike more common lithium batteries, which store energy in electrodes, the redox flow batteries that can be created with this new process use a chemical reaction to pump energy back and forth between electrolytes where their energy is stored. They aren\u2019t quite as efficient at energy storage as other forms of batteries and are too big and bulky to be used in cars or smartphones. They are, however, thought to be a much better solution for energy storage on the scale of an electricity grid. That includes storing energy from renewables like wind and solar to help smooth out troughs and peaks in supply.<\/p>\n<p>As requirements for batteries continue to grow, so does the requirement for metals like lithium and cobalt used to create them. These metals are often sourced through intensive and invasive mining. There is also a limited supply of them and researchers say that as more and more products depend on batteries, a shift away from these metal-based solutions to more sustainable options will be needed.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2025\/01\/08\/scientists-turn-industrial-waste-into-batteries-that-could-be-used-to-store-renewable-ener\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-644\/\">Scientists turn industrial waste into batteries that could be used to store renewable energy<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[835,575,5799,834],"class_list":["post-136391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-battery","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-industrial-waste","tag-renewable-energy"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136391","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136391"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136391\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
