A Somerville startup says its rust-based battery generates 25 times the power storage of its lithium-ion counterparts for a tenth of the cost:
Mechanical engineers Angel Rivera and Kalina Yang work on tests of full scale elements of iron-air batteries.
In the company's cavernous lab space in Somerville, Wiley removed the lid on one of the nearby 55-gallon drums to reveal the basic raw material to its secret technology. Perfecting the combination in a battery was tough. NASA and GTE scientists tried something similar in the 1960’s but gave up. The research wasn’t worth pursuing; until large scale solar and wind projects came along, there wasn't a need for grid-scale, energy-storage technology.Inside Form Energy's Somerville facility, researchers test prototypes of iron-air battery cells.
Great River vice president and chief power supply officer Jon Brekke said the company has plenty of the right stuff nearby. Great River will start with a small pilot project next year using a few hundred Form Energy modules, but has big plans to scale up if they work.
