Energy Storage

This article is the second of our series on advanced and post lithium-ion technologies. This article will focus on the silicon anode batteries technologies and markets

Hybrid electric vehicles, cell phones, digital cameras, and the Mars Curiosity rover are just a few of the many devices that use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Now a team of researchers has a simple mathematical formula to predict what factors most influence lithium-ion battery aging.

Intelligent and smart sensors are used for measuring various parameters that increase our knowledge of ourselves and of the environment around us.

The market for electric vehicles is growing rapidly while existing electric parts are multiplying.

XALT® Energy emerged from the former Dow Kokam, LLC (originally founded in 2009) to become an innovator in energy storage technologies based on the advanced lithium ion chemistry.

A new design strategy has emerged for making batteries flexible.

Each year IDTechEx Research releases its up-to-date market report on graphene and related materials, "Graphene, 2D Materials and Carbon Nanotubes: Markets, Technologies and Opportunities 2015-2025". Our latest up-to-date analysis show that the graphene market will reach nearly $200m at the material year.

Interfacing with machines undergoes a constant evolution, allowing for wider adoption of computing devices over time, as interaction becomes more "natural". According to IDTechEx Research, smartglasses are bringing about the next big step in this ever-changing space.

The NSF Nanosystems Engineering Research Center for Advanced Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies develops and employs nano-enabled energy harvesting, energy storage, nanodevices and sensors to create innovative battery-free, body-powered, and wearable health monitoring systems.

Researchers have successfully demonstrated how several of the problems impeding the practical development of the so-called 'ultimate' battery could be overcome.

Biomimetics - usefully copying nature - is alive and well.

This article is the first of our series on Advanced and Post Lithium-ion technologies.

New findings have overturned a scientific dogma that stood for decades, by showing that potassium can work with graphite in a potassium-ion battery - a discovery that could pose a challenge and sustainable alternative to the widely-used lithium-ion battery.

Today's emerging technologies are varied, vast - and moving at the blink of an eye. Here are the top 10 key trends we'll see at the show that are changing the way the world lives, works and plays.

Today's growing need for energy storage drives the requirement for a radical change in battery design and production.

The graphene industry is at a critical juncture for many small to medium sized companies: it is time for them to generate revenues and pre-empt any pending cash flow issues. These companies cannot often afford to take the long view, which many research groups and government are rightly taking.

Sun and wind are important sources of renewable energy, but they suffer from natural fluctuations: In stormy weather or bright sunshine electricity produced exceeds demand, whereas clouds or a lull in the wind inevitably cause a power shortage.

Tyndall National Institute, in remote Cork in the Republic of Ireland, is at the heart of a cluster of excellence on low power energy harvesting.

Samsung SDI this week unveiled Samsung's Stripe and Band batteries. The batteries are an embodiment of the age of wearable batteries that are applicable to any curve of a human body.

Thin Film Solid State Batteries have game-changing applications in electronics, robotics, industry, medical devices and the military.
