Researchers have discovered a revolutionary technology for storing energy in small-sized electronics and wearable devices.

This technology relies on mesoporous metal oxides (MMOs) with nanopores. This gives them a wide surface area and multiple applications, such as high-performance energy storage. The difficulty of incorporating mesoporous metal oxides into wearable devices has been overcome by fabricating them on flexible materials at low temperatures.

The technology is characterized by high flexibility; Manufactured devices can be bent thousands of times without losing energy storage efficiency, and provide better performance than traditional lithium-ion batteries and open the door to new possibilities for wearable devices, such as clothes that charge your tools and devices as soon as you wear them, and tools that are more flexible and adapted to our daily needs, and increase the flexibility of networks. energy; This helps integrate more variable renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy, supports grid stability by storing surplus electricity and releasing it later when needed, and also enables home solar energy systems to operate efficiently 24 hours a day. Also, it supports microgrids that rely entirely on renewable energy sources.

The cumulative capacity of electricity storage facilities is expected to exceed 1 TWh globally before the end of the current decade. It is worth noting that renewable energy investments and government policies contribute to maximizing the need for storage to add flexibility to the world's networks.
