Energy Storage

American Manganese are a lithium-ion battery recycler with a background in manganese processing. They have designed a patented process, called RecycLiCo, which process black mass to produce CAM precursor.

The miniaturization of microelectronic sensor technology, microelectronic robots or intravascular implants is progressing rapidly. However, it also poses major challenges for research. One of the biggest is the development of tiny but efficient energy storage devices that enable the operation of autonomously working microsystems - in more and more smaller areas of the human body for example.

Formerly known as SolidEnergy Systems, SES are developing hybrid Li-metal cells using a stable liquid electrolytes.

Altris AB are a Swedish company manufacturing cathode material for Na-ion batteries.

HiNa Battery Technology are a Chinese Na-ion battery manufacturer.

Thursday 26 August 2021 - Why is even seasonal storage a new requirement? How is it that storage by compressed air, gravity and other non-battery options closely leverage mine assets for greater safety and viability? Why does next generation solar fit so well in mines? and more.

With the growing momentum behind the electric vehicle market comes an added importance of understanding the Li-ion batteries that power them, the variety of design choices available, and trends in their implementation.

Redivivus are a lithium-ion battery recycling start up based in the US. They are currently developing two technologies to provide recycling solutions to battery manufacturers; Redi-Shred and Redi-Cycle.

Electrochaea is a German growth-stage company that has developed a power-to-gas (P2G) process to convert renewable energy and carbon dioxide into pipeline-grade biomethane.

Sakuu Corporation announced the commencement of its pilot line and learning center. Sakuú's pilot line will have the capability to produce up to 2.5 MWh per year of solid-state batteries and in the future will also serve as a customer learning center for its advanced additive manufacturing platform.

Williams Advanced Engineering and Molicel have agreed a strategic collaboration to support the next generation of high performance, superior quality, lithium-ion power battery cells.

To demonstrate progress with its national hydrogen strategy, the UK Government launched the Tees Valley Hydrogen Hub, and initiated the Hydrogen Transport Hub Demonstration competition to showcase real-world hydrogen transport technology solutions.

Faradion are a UK company developing Na-ion batteries for stationary and electric vehicle applications.

Agora Energy Technologies are an early-stage Canadian start-up developing a carbon dioxide based redox flow battery.

Automotive OEMs are being advised to take a systems-level look at their supply chains and take immediate action to minimise the risk of over-reliance, as the global semiconductor shortage continues to cripple global production schedules.

Laminar is a Korean company that specialize in continuous flow reactors for reaction or production of nanoparticles. IDTechEx spoke with Mr. Hong (CEO) about their applications in graphene and cathode precursor production.

Scientists have developed a soft and stretchable battery that is powered by human perspiration. The prototype battery consists of printed silver flake electrodes that generate electricity in the presence of sweat. Measuring 2 cm by 2 cm and as flat as a small paper bandage, the battery is affixed to a flexible and sweat absorbent textile that is stretchable and attachable to wearable devices, like watches, wrist bands or arm straps.

Enevate are a US company developing high-silicon content Li-ion anodes and cells. IDTechEx spoke with Kevin Schrantz, Senior Marketing Director, and Martin Sandor, Marketing Director.

Because of their high storage capacity, metal oxides are a promising class of potential conversion-type electrode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. Conversion-type electrode materials undergo conversion reactions; when they react with lithium ions, they get converted into entirely new products. Today's commercial batteries are based on a completely different mechanism called intercalation.

JX Nippon Mining & Metals (JX) is an integrated producer of copper and related metals. IDTechEx caught up with the company to discuss its impressive current collector material for high-performance electric vehicles.
