📢 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 📢 Protoqin, an early-stage spinout from University of Bath , is developing an innovation to allow both hydrogen and oxygen gases to be captured and stored within water, without any gas evolution. As a result, both oxygen and hydrogen are stored forming the basis of an energy storage device. Learn more about the science behind Protoqin’s innovation ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ep-6-kGS The water-based energy storage technology could have multiple benefits (low cost, high safety, high sustainability) and could potentially deliver competitive energy densities. #FaradayBatteryChallenge #SustainableFuture #EnergyStorage
