The application "energy storage" as example compensates the volatility of RE and is thus critical to any energy transition. Chemical energy conversion (CEC) is the critical science and technology to eliminate fossil fuels, to create circular energy economies and to enable global exchange of RE.
FC, as a typical energy conversion device, can efficiently be used to perform energy conversion from chemical to electrical energy (Zhao et al. 2023). Nevertheless, the inferior power density in rechargeable ion batteries and the low energy density of SCs significantly restrict their broader application (Liu et al. 2017 ).
Chemical energy storage scientists are working closely with PNNL''s electric grid researchers, analysts, and battery researchers. For example, we have developed a hydrogen fuel cell valuation tool that provides techno-economic analysis to inform industry and grid operators on how hydrogen generation and storage can benefit their local grid.
The efficiency of the conventional process to convert chemical energy into electrical energy is limited by the Carnot cycle and is much lower than the efficiency of batteries.
