However, radical changes in battery chemistry-solid-state batteries, and liquid batteries you can recharge in minutes by pumping in new electrode materials-also made encouraging progress this year.

然而，通过在电池化学成份上注入新的电极材料使得固态或液态电池充电分分钟搞定，这一巨大改进也取得可喜进展。

Traditional batteries store the chemical energy in two solid electrodes; flow batteries store it in the liquid electrolyte in which the electrodes are immersed.

传统的电池是在两根固定电极中储存化学能的；而流体电池则将其储存在浸入电极，即液体电解质中。

Initial funding will explore everything from liquid metal batteries that store large amounts of electricity to cheaper ways of making solar cells from silicon.

启动基金会推动从储电量很大的液体金属电池到太阳能多晶硅等所有领域的探索。

The lithium-ion batteries are liquid cooled and packaged in a 4-inch thick slab that covers the entire floor pan of the car for a low center of gravity and a near 50-50 weight distribution.

In his 50-year career, Ovshinsky received more than 400 patents in the U.S. and more than 800 foreign patents covering a range of technologies, including nickel-metal hydride batteries, rewritable CDs, DVD optical discs, flat-screen liquid crystal displays, hydrogen fuel cells, thin-film solar cells and others.

That, plus the fact that the liquid crystals will revert to transparency if the power goes off, mean an LCD eats batteries.
