Plastics for photovoltaic energy storage batteries
A new type of battery made from electrically conductive polymers—basically plastic—could help make energy storage on the grid cheaper and more durable, enabling a greater use of renewable.

Amid many technologies that are emerging in the domain, Boston-based energy start up PolyJoule has created a battery which is made up of plastic – electrically conductive polymers – which makes the energy storage on the grid not just cheaper but also more durable.
The different applications to store electrical energy range from stationary energy storage (i.e., storage of the electrical energy produced from intrinsically fluctuating sources, e.g., wind parks and photovoltaics) over batteries for electric vehicles and mobile devices (e.g., laptops as well as mobile phones or other smart mobile devices such .
The reported textile-based energy storage devices include supercapacitors (SCs) , flexible lithium-on batteries , Li–S batteries , Li–air batteries , sodium-ion batteries , Zn-ion batteries and silver–zinc batteries . Among these reported devices, SCs are the most cited ones owing to its easy fabrication, long cyclic life, and high-power .
Well, a startup based in the Boston area is developing a battery it says might be able to replace those batteries with one that is not based on metals at all, but on a polymer, plastic, a plastic battery that may be a solution for storing electricity on a large scale from wind or solar power generation, or even right in your home.
