The design and performance of liquid metal batteries (LMBs), a new technology for grid-
scale energy storage, depend on fluid mechanics because the battery electrodes and …

The increasing demands for the penetration of renewable energy into the grid urgently call
for low-cost and large-scale energy storage technologies. With an intrinsic dendrite-free …

Liquid metal batteries (LMBs) are discussed today as a cheap grid scale energy storage, as
required for the deployment of fluctuating renewable energies. Built as stable density …

Abstract Liquid Metal Batteries (LMBs) have a potential to emerge as a cost-effective
solution for grid-scale energy storage to overcome the intermittency of renewable energy …

Generation of thermal convection flow in the liquid metal battery, a device recently proposed
as a promising solution for the problem of the short-term energy storage, is analyzed using a …

Recent years have seen an increased interest in the question of whether the gravitational
action of planets could have an influence on the solar dynamo. Without discussing the …

Liquid metal batteries are proposed for low-cost grid scale energy storage. During their
operation, solid intermetallic phases often form in the cathode and are known to limit the …

Solutal buoyancy has a large impact on the flow of the alloy phase composing the positive
electrode in liquid metal batteries. During discharge solutal buoyancy creates a stabilizing …

In this work a 1D finite volume based model using coupled meshes is introduced to capture
potential and species distribution throughout the discharge process in a lithium–bismuth …

We use the multiphase magnetohydrodynamic code SFEMaNS to study the generation of
electrovortex flows in liquid metal batteries. We first reproduce some well known results in a …
