Food Waste May Store Solar, Wind Energy

Sugar alcohols – an abundant waste product of the food industry – mixed with carbon nanotubes could be used to store excess solar and wind energy for times when the Sun is down or the air is still, scientists have found. The researchers wanted to study how mixing carbon nanotubes with sugar alcohols might affect their energy storage properties. The new insights could assist in the future design of sugar alcohol-based energy storage systems
