A mixture of cement and charcoal powder can store energy when soaked in an electrolyte solution, and the material could maintain its charging capabilities for decades
A mixture of cement and charcoal powder could enable houses to store a full day’s worth of energy in their concrete foundations. This new way of creating a supercapacitor – an alternative to batteries that can discharge energy much faster – could be incorporated into the foundations of both buildings and wind turbines. When paired with renewable energy sources, it could also someday let concrete road foundations wirelessly recharge electric vehicles as they drive along.
at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . “Which means we don’t have the same restriction as with batteries.” Ulm and his colleagues showed how cement and carbon black – a very fine version of charcoal – can mix with water to create a hardened block containing many branching, wire-like structures filled with the carbon. When the concrete is soaked in a common electrolyte solution such as potassium chloride, the charged particles from the electrolyte settle on the carbon-wire structures to provide energy-storing potential.
