Energy Storage

A revolutionary concept for lightweight structural energy storage components that could improve the energy usage of future electrified vehicles.

The company is now in position to dominate the world market in the production of large-area electrospray coating equipment that can be used to lower the manufacturing cost of high-technology products such as lithium-ion batteries, solar panels, fuel cells, and energy efficient glass.

Volvo Car Group has developed a revolutionary concept for lightweight structural energy storage components that could improve the energy usage of future electrified vehicles.

The core technology for lithium air secondary battery, the next generation high capacity battery, has been finally developed.

A new $8 million battery lab has opened at the University of Michigan that will help Ford develop batteries that are smaller, lighter and less expensive to produce.

Toyota Motor Corp said it has slashed the cost of the fuel cell system in its next hydrogen-powered car by almost $1 million, putting it on course to launch a mid-sized sedan in 2015 with a price ticket below $100,000, according to Reuters.

The types of LG Chem's future batteries can be categorized as stepped, curved and cable batteries.

A substance made from gelatin could be used to replace platinum in fuel cells, according to research.

Supercapacitors are a curiously neglected aspect of electronics and electrical engineering with a multi-billion dollar market rapidly emerging.

IDTechEx will be hosting a free webinar 'Organic vs Aqueous Electrolyte Supercapacitors - Which will win?' on Thursday 10 October and we would be delighted if you could join us.

Supercapacitors are increasing the range of electric vehicles in several ways and by doing so they are hugely increasing the addressable market for those vehicles. Typically, they last for the life of the vehicle regardless of how many cycles are endured.

The Graphene LIVE! USA event has lined up top-class speakers for its business-orientated conference and tradeshow on graphene.

A cutting-edge battery technology developed at the University of Colorado Boulder that could allow tomorrow's electric vehicles to travel twice as far on a charge is now closer to becoming a commercial reality.

$3.4 million award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA-E) to develop a breakthrough battery technology that may more than double the current range of electric vehicles (EV), increase safety, reduce costs and simplify recharging.

Researchers have found a new family of materials that provides the best-ever performance in a reaction called oxygen evolution, a key requirement for energy storage and delivery systems such as advanced fuel cells and lithium-air batteries.

A cutting-edge battery technology could allow tomorrow's electric vehicles to travel twice as far on a charge is now closer to becoming a commercial reality.

scientists from GE and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) may have just the recipe for next-generation electric vehicle (EV) batteries that achieve desired driving range and cost for consumers.

Ten years ago IDTechEx hosted the first Printed Electronics USA event attended by around 150 people. Presenters covered early results of R&D projects with new materials. On Nov 20-21 2013, IDTechEx will host the tenth annual event on the topic in Santa Clara, CA, which features more than 150 exhibitors and 2000 attendees.

Brookhaven Lab scientists use simple, 'green' process to create novel core-shell catalyst that tolerates carbon monoxide in fuel cells and opens new, inexpensive pathways for zero-emission vehicles.

The company was founded by local investors together with Dr. Xia-chang Zhang in 2013, inventor of SoftBatteryTM and one of the founders of Enfucell. Kunshan Printed Electronics worked in co-operation with a local machinery company to set up a R2R printed battery mass production line with a capacity up to 40 million cells a year.
