Energy Storage

Batteries are rapidly becoming less expensive and might soon offer a cheap short-term solution to store energy for daily energy needs. However, the long-term storage capabilities of batteries, for example, in a yearly cycle, will not be economically viable.

ECO Environmental Investments Limited (EEIL) are a subsidiary of the Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited that was established in 2000. The company are moving downstream to produce advanced carbon products.

A blueprint for a loss-free quantum battery may be closer than we think, according to new research.

The fifth generation of BMW eDrive includes a newly designed high-voltage battery featuring the latest battery cell technology. With a weight of some 550 kilograms, it has an energy content of around 80 kWh. This gives the BMW i4 a range of approximately 600 kilometres.

Find out how companies are continuing to improve cell and battery performance and the post Li-ion batteries being developed to break through these limits at Energy Storage Innovations USA, hosted by IDTechEx.

From consumer electronics to electric vehicles and stationary storage, high power and fast charge capability are key performance metrics for Li-ion batteries. Pure battery electric vehicles can now offer range in excess of 300 miles per charge, but a full recharge can take hours. How can this be improved?

Airbus Defence and Space has partnered with U.S. based Amprius Inc's current equity funding. This financing will further boost the development of new generation batteries based on Silicon Nanowire Anode technology.

NAUM (from Nano Augmented) is a conference on nanomaterials organised and run by OCSiAl. IDTechEx attended a session on the use of nanomaterials in energy storage applications, and visited the exhibition.

IDTechEx Analysts review the future of Energy Storage and Electric Vehicles in India. Find out more at the upcoming Business & Technology Insight Forums On Electric Vehicles and Energy Storage, 3 - 4 December 2019 in Stuttgart, Germany, hosted by IDTechEx.

Geyser Batteries Oy are a Finnish start-up developing an electrochemical energy storage system based on carbon electrodes and an aqueous, redox active electrolyte.

An IDTechEx analyst attended the 7th China International New Energy and Intelligent Connected Vehicles Exhibition 2019 (IEEV China 2019) and the co-located World Intelligent and Connected Vehicle (WICV) conference held in Beijing, China on 22-25 Oct. 2019.

The technology is based on a simple principle: raising and lowering a heavy weight to store and release energy.

IDTechEx attended NAUM 2019, hosted by OCSiAl in Kyoto's International Conference Center (ICC). IDTechEx attended part of the conference which included a presentation from Amprius about the areas of their work which were relevant to OCSiAl's SWCNT.

A new power saving chip developed by engineers could significantly reduce or eliminate the need to replace batteries in Internet of Things devices and wearables. The so-called wake-up receiver wakes up a device only when it needs to communicate and perform its function. It allows the device to stay dormant the rest of the time and reduce power use.

OXIS Energy and Bye Aerospace have begun a 12-month collaborative programme that seeks to achieve a 50% to 100% increase in flight time from a single charge on future Bye Aerospace eAircraft.
