A method for efficient heat storage devices
Commercial and residential buildings account for more than 40% of primary energy consumption in the United States, including 70% of all electricity. Much of this energy, particularly during peak weather events, is used by residential or small commercial building environmental loads (Figure 1). The ability to shift these peak environmental heating and...

Fluorinated Polymer, Method of Making, and Use in Electrochemical Cell
Low specific capacity and low charge/discharge rate of current cathodic materials are the bottle-neck for the next generation electrochemical energy storage devices, particularly for “on-demand applications.” Current batteries rely on transition metal salts (e.g. LiMO2, LiMPO4) and mixed metal oxide lithium salts as cathodic materials. The...
