Energy Storage

Review of European electric light commercial vehicle sales in 2020, analysis of the performance of key eLCV manufacturers and comment on plug-in hybrid electric and fuel cell LCV registrations.

A sustainable, powerful micro-supercapacitor may be on the horizon. Until now, the high-capacity, fast-charging energy storage devices have been limited by the composition of their electrodes — the connections responsible for managing the flow of electrons during charging and dispensing energy. Now, researchers have developed a better material to improve connectivity while maintaining recyclability and low cost.

Avium is an American start-up developing advanced catalyst coated electrodes for alkaline water electrolysis

The first supercapacitors to be commercialised were small ones for electronics. They were made in conventional capacitor formats such as axial and radial lead cylindrical and then coin cell.

IDTechEx has released a new spreadsheet-based tool that lists our assumptions for several material intensities at a cell- and pack-level for battery-electric vehicle (BEV) and plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) batteries in the car market.

For a long time, graphene has been cited as the wonder material that will change the world. The reality has been very different; disillusionment has started to grow as the hype has not translated into revenue. Is the "tipping point" finally approaching?

This Premium Article provides information on eVTOL aircraft design architectures including the most promising eVTOL companies specifically for the Air Taxi market, across each of the eVTOL configurations.

English company involved in the production of proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer, and hydrogen refuelling stations. Recently ITM Power began a joint venture with Linde group, founding "ITM Linde electrolysis".

The company was initially focus on the fuel cell market for application in forklift. In 2020 the company started to address the electrolyzer market, to develop a hydrogen infrastructure across the US.

New Flyer's Xcelsior CHARGE NG™ incorporates three distinct technology advancements to deliver a high-performance bus, including next generation high energy batteries that extend range up to 13%, advanced protective battery packaging designed for easy install and simpler serviceability, and a new lightweight electric traction drive system with up to 90% energy recovery.

On the 15th of March 2021, Volkswagen (VW) presented its technology roadmap for batteries and charging up to 2030. The event titled "Power Day" was split into two sections: the batteries and the charging.

Air taxis and flying cars are easy to hype but IDTechEx's new report on the subject is not that hype. This independent research into electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for passenger transport reflects the reality of the eVTOL market at this early stage of its development.
