Form Energy's Iron-Air Battery, for Bloomberg Businessweek

Full-scale iron-air batteries stand in the full-scale battery testing area of the Form Energy lab in Somerville, Massachusetts, USA, on Tue., March 21, 2023. Each orange enclosure holds one iron-air battery, the tall piece between orange walls enclosed in white, low-cost commodity plastic similar to what milk jugs are made of. A typical power plant built using these batteries would have tens of thousands of these batteries, according to Form Energy co-founder and CTO Billy Woodford. The batteries work by rusting and derusting an iron electrode inside the battery. According to its website, Form Energy is an "energy storage technology and manufacturing company." The company has developed an iron-air battery that stores energy for 100 hours and is aimed at replacing traditional powerplants by storing energy generated from renewable energy sources such as wind or solar. In this lab, the company develops and tests sub-scale and full-scale iron-air batteries. Other facilities operated by the company elsewhere in the US handle more full-scale production and testing of the batteries.

Sub-scale iron-air batteries stand in a testing incubator in the Form Energy lab in Somerville, Massachusetts, USA, on Tue., March 21, 2023. Each plastic container is a single miniature iron-air battery. The testing process in these incubators looks at the performance of different iron materials, duty cycles when the battery is charged and discharged, and performance of the battery at different temperatures. Once a battery configuration shows good performance in this testing environment, it is recreated at larger scale for further testing. The batteries work by rusting and derusting an iron electrode inside the battery. According to its website, Form Energy is an "energy storage technology and manufacturing company."
