Big disagreement on where lithium-ion batteries are headed

Lithium-ion is the winning type of rechargeable battery for the decade - there is almost a consensus. You can count about 150 manufacturers of these and IDTechEx has profiled nearly all of them.

EV battery funding successes and hopes

US and European funding for electric vehicle batteries continues to trickle in but at a more modest scale than before.

A123 goes niche too late?

Following a redundancy, rehiring and large quality recall, struggling lithium-ion traction battery maker A123 Systems is trying some niche marketing now that most of the orders for the world's hybrid and pure electric car batteries over the next three years have been cornered by the big four - LGChem, Panasonic inc Sanyo, AESC and SBLimotive as analysed in detail by the Institute of Information Technology of Japan.

Sony and Panasonic to develop next generation OLED Panels for TVs

Sony and Panasonic aim to establish mass-production technology during 2013, by integrating their unique technologies to improve the overall efficiency of development.

Exploring Opportunities for Printed Electronics in East Asia

There have been three billion-dollar success stories in printed and organic electronics so far - and in each Asia has been a key driving factor.

Recent Progress and Future Trend of OLED Technologies for Lighting Application

New record low-power multi-standard transceiver for sensor networks

Imec and Holst Centre announce a 2.3/2.4GHz transmitter for wireless sensor applications compliant with 4 wireless standards (IEEE802.15.6/4/4g and Bluetooth Low Energy).

Blunt motor and battery talk at EV Japan

The conference speakers were surprisingly blunt in their appraisal of batteries and motors for electric vehicles at last week's EV Japan conference. Batteries control the cost of pure electric vehicles by a big margin and they are the largest part of the cost of hybrids, though a lesser percentage.

Printed Electronics: The hot topics

OLED versus LED lighting, the energy storage gold rush, replacing ITO and more.

There's more to life than OLEDs and electrophoretic displays...

At IDTechEx Printed Electronics USA in Santa Clara on the 30th of November and the 1st of December 2011, there will be a focus on technologies such as OLEDs and electrophoretic displays, with leading innovators such as Sumitomo, Panasonic and E Ink discussing their progress. But there's other display technologies emerging, at earlier stages of commercialization that promise performance enhancement, cost reduction and new possibilities. Two of these technologies, QD Vision's QLEDs and Opalux 's photonic crystal displays are described below.

Graphene overtaking carbon nanotubes

Graphene is considered a hot candidate for applications such as computers, displays, photovoltaics, and flexible electronics.

Southwest Nanotechnologies Has Received A $500,000 Oklahoma Research Grant To Commercialize Printed Thin Film Transistors Using Single-walled Carbon Nanotube Inks In Collaboration With Panasonic Boston Laboratory

Penetrating the fog surrounding lithium-ion traction batteries

To penetrate the fog surrounding lithium-ion traction batteries we should use the term generically for all rechargeable batteries involving lithium ions. For example, it is false to talk of lithium polymer as an alternative to lithium-ion because the term lithium polymer simply refers to a form of electrolyte involving solid polymer electrolyte usually with gel.
