There are some conflicts in these stories about how often the bricks can be charged.
It would be interesting to see what bricks optimized for energy storage would cost - thermal mass & energy too! Trickle charge a neighborhood during off-peak hours to massively reduce the peak load, thus eliminating the need for power-grid improvements.
The iron-rich red dirt on Mars might excel at this ...

"The resulting treated walls could act as a low-cost version of something like the Powerwall."
Scientists Turn Normal Red Bricks into Electricity-Storing Supercapacitors
"We have created a new brick that can be incorporated into your house that has the functionality of storing electrical energy."

"These brick batteries can be recharged in about 13 minutes, and have a lifetime of about 10,000 charges. This is all very exciting, but right now, the bricks can't store a ton of energy."
Scientists Turn Cheap, Old Red Bricks Into a Fast-ChargingBattery Cell That Stores Energy For Emergency Use:

"The researchers believe that the bricks could be used to power emergency lighting for five hours. D'Arcy notes that 50 of the PEDOT-coated bricks in close proximity would be sufficient to do so."
""Advantageously, a brick wall serving as a supercapacitor can be recharged hundreds of thousands of times within an hour. If you connect a couple of bricks, microelectronics sensors would be easily powered." D'Arcy said.
The team envisions that the PEDOT-coated red bricks be paired with solar energy technology to promote and utilize the red brick battery's sustainability effectively."
