Energy Storage

The key to better cellphones and other rechargeable electronics may be in tiny "sandwiches" made of nano sheets.

There is divided opinion on future of traction fuel cells in electric vehicles, though few argue any more that they will power the majority of electric vehicles.

At analysts IDTechEx we are often questioned about our forecasts of prices of certain electric vehicles not going down over future years. The answer is twofold.

Researchers have taken a significant step toward the development of a battery that could outperform the lithium-ion technology.

A new breakthrough battery—one that has significantly higher energy, lasts longer, and is cheaper and safer—will likely be impossible without a new material discovery.

Today's megatrends are easy to identify. They are changes that will endure for a long time and profoundly impact most of us on earth.

Armor markets two types of products: the thin Thermal Transfer film meant for printing on packaging and labels, as well as remanufactured ink jet and laser cartridges.

Armor and IMN are proud to announce that they are winners of a LabCom call for project, orchestrated and co-funded by the National Research Agency.

An eruption of lithium at the tip of a battery's electrode, cracks in the electrode's body, and a coat forming on the electrode's surface reveal how recharging a battery many times leads to its demise.

A team of researchers has developed a material that acts as a superhighway for ions. The material could make batteries more powerful, change how gaseous fuel is turned into liquid fuel and help power plants burn coal and natural gas more efficiently.

Cambridge Nanosystems is a UK-based start-up born out of Cambridge University that specialises in advanced materials. In this profile update, Dr Khasha Ghaffarzadeh covers their latest developments.

Researchers have successfully combined two nanomaterials to create a new energy storage medium that combines the best qualities of batteries and supercapacitors.

Researchers have made what they believe is the first metal-free bifunctional electrocatalyst that performs as well or better than most metal and metal oxide electrodes in zinc-air batteries.

A team of researchers have created glass that tints by harvesting energy from wind and rain.

Energy harvesting is the creation of electricity from ambient energy. IDTechEx Show! covers it all in one place.

To properly evaluate the prospects for commercially competitive battery electric vehicles one must have accurate information on current and predicted cost of battery packs.

The graphene technology and industry is too nascent to stand on its own legs as a stand-alone conference unless the focus is purely academic. The industry is at a stage where it needs to aggressively building up its application pipeline.

Researchers conclude that the bounces increase because the zinc oxide forms tiny bridges within the zinc material, which decreases the mechanical damping of the battery.

Researchers at the University of Houston have reported developing an efficient conductive electron-transporting polymer, a long-missing puzzle piece that will allow ultrafast battery applications.

Stanford University scientists have invented the first high-performance aluminum battery that's fast-charging, long-lasting and inexpensive. Researchers say the new technology offers a safe alternative to many commercial batteries in wide use today.
