Energy Storage

By creating nanoparticles with a controlled shape, researchers believe smaller, more powerful and energy efficient batteries can be built.

Japanese researchers from a public-private team report an advance in Li-ion battery technology that they describe as a major breakthrough.

Lithium-air batteries have become a hot research area in recent years: They hold the promise of drastically increasing power per battery weight, which could lead, for example, to electric cars with a much greater driving range.

The Energy Harvesting SIG is in the US this week with a group of UK companies at 'Energy Harvesting and Storage USA.'

Researchers have made the first battery electrode that heals itself, opening a new and potentially commercially viable path for making the next generation of lithium ion batteries for electric cars, cell phones and other devices.

According to IDTechEx research, the market for printed and potentially printed electronics, including organics, inorganics and composites, will rise from $16.04 billion in 2013 to $76.79 billion in 2023.In this article, we will detailed the market size and forecast by application, highlight which companies are making money and why, and discuss the main go-to-market strategies.

Efforts to produce a workable design for a rechargeable lithium-air battery with respectable commercial performance have been going on for years. Problems have appeared to be insoluble.
