Black energy storage device

Could carbon black make a low-cost energy storage system?

Made of cement, carbon black, and water, the device could provide cheap and scalable energy storage for renewable energy sources. Two of humanity's most ubiquitous historical materials, cement and carbon black (which resembles very fine charcoal), may form the basis for a novel, low-cost energy storage system, according to a new study.

Can black phosphorus be used for energy storage?

Black phosphorus is a potential candidate material for next-generation energy storage devices and has attracted tremendous interest because of its advantageous structural and electrochemical properties, including its large theoretical capacity, high carrier mobility, and low redox potential.
