A major hurdle in the pursuit of sustainable fuels is a step closer to being solved thanks to a new approach to long-duration energy storage.
Though more common today, the proliferation of solar power and other renewable energy sources has been limited by the cost, relative inefficiency and sheer scale required of the batteries needed for long-term energy storage.
A team of scientists at the Yale Energy Sciences Institute have now described the conceptual framework for the conversion of sustainably-generated hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for long-duration energy storage. Unlike batteries, using this liquid medium energy from the sun is stored in the form of chemical bonds.

It’s not often that a breakthrough in sustainable chemistry is influenced by a fan letter.
Yet that’s what happened for Yale chemist Hailiang Wang, whose lab creates small-molecule and nanomaterial catalysts that remove unwanted material from the environment such as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and turn it into something useful.
In 2019, the journal Nature published a study from Wang’s lab that featured a new carbon dioxide conversion catalyst. Several weeks later, Wang received an email from Robert Tuttle, a Yale alumnus who winters in Naples, Florida, who had read about Wang’s research.

Prototype of tabletop artificial photosynthesis device.
It’s just possible that artificial photosynthesis is right around the corner.
Photosynthesis is the natural process by which sunlight splits water molecules into oxygen, protons, and electrons and reduces carbon dioxide down to carbohydrates. Artificial photosynthesis is humanity’s attempt to replicate that process in order to sustainably create clean fuels and agricultural fertilizers all powered by the sun.
Victor Batista, the John Randolph Huffman Professor of Chemistry and faculty member of the Energy Sciences Institute at Yale West Campus, is part of a new, multi-institution project that has made a dramatic leap forward in harnessing artificial photosynthesis.
