Aluminum could give boost to capacity, power of lithium-ion batteries

Researchers have created an electrode made of nanoparticles with a solid shell, and a "yolk" inside that can change size again and again without affecting the shell.

Ultra-thin hollow nanocages reduce platinum use in fuel cell electrode

A new fabrication technique that produces platinum hollow nanocages with ultra-thin walls could dramatically reduce the amount of the costly metal needed to provide catalytic activity in such applications as fuel cells.

Energy Harvesting & Storage Europe: Key Learnings from the 2015 Show

The recent IDTechEx event "Energy Harvesting and Storage Europe" in Berlin was once again a good barometer of what is happening in the industry. Here are some of our delegates' comments on our Europe 2015 event.

Orbital Composites

Orbital Composites are a start-up developing three tools for integration into 3D printers to allow injection moulding into hollow parts, pressure to remove voids and printing of carbon fibre and copper wiring into the part.

Energy harvesting at the heavy end

At the event, "Energy Harvesting and Storage Europe 2015", uniquely, the whole scope of energy harvesting will be reviewed.

Energy Harvesting & Storage Europe 2015

28-29 April, Estrel Convention Center, Berlin, Germany. In less than one week, the seventh annual IDTechEx event will provide valuable insight into energy harvesting technologies and their applications.

The Printed Electronics Industry Gets Going

Investment up; more products launched and larger companies driving growth.

Companies with One Trillion Euros sales present at the IDTechEx Show!

Companies with over One Trillion Euros in combined sales will present at IDTechEx's Event on Emerging Technologies. Tesco, Qualcomm, Ericsson, United Technologies, Jaguar Land Rover, Shell provide insights, products and use cases on printed electronics, energy harvesting, wearable technologies, IoT and more.

Flagship Pavegen installation confirmed for Canary Wharf district

Pavegen are selected to implement their technology in the heart of Canary Wharf.

Discovery may be breakthrough for hydrogen-fueled vehicles

Researchers discovered a way to create hydrogen fuel using a biological method that greatly reduces the time and money it takes to produce the zero-emissions fuel. This method uses abundantly available corn stover - the stalks, cobs, and husks - to produce the hydrogen.

Wearable, automotive and IoT drive sensor growth at IDTechEx Show!

The last decade has seen the cost of sensors fall to an average sales price of 50 cents from several dollars, driven first by the increase in sensors for automotive followed by consumer electronics such as smart phones. The next phase of volume growth will be driven by wearable technology, IoT and driver assisted/autonomous vehicles. This is also driving work on new types of sensors, such as flexible, larger area ones.

Take a peek at the Big Brands Speaking at Printed Electronics Europe

The event features over 180 speakers including many big brands such as Qualcomm, United Technologies Research, Jaguar Land Rover, Sony, Decathlon, Flextronics, Shell, GE Aviation, Ericsson, AugstaWestland, Intel, Sharp, JC Decaux and many more.

High performance, lightweight supercapacitor electrodes of the future

Researchers have developed a novel supercapacitor electrode based on a hybrid nanostructure made from a hybrid nickel oxide-iron oxide exterior shell and a conductive iron-nickel core.

SDG&E integrates electric vehicles and energy storage systems

San Diego Gas & Electric has announced that it is actively bidding a group of energy storage systems and electric vehicle fleets as one resource directly into the California Independent System Operator's energy markets.

Glass coating improves battery performance

Lithium-sulfur batteries have been a hot topic in battery research because of their ability to produce up to 10 times more energy than conventional batteries.

Singapore's first 3D-printed concept car

Students have built Singapore's first urban solar electric car with an innovative 3D-printed body shell that has 150 parts

Amazing changes in BIPV and structural electronics

A research team from the University of Kassel in Germany recently developed a building material that simultaneously functions as a photovoltaic cell.

Successful start of pilot project for energy self-sufficient air dome

Heliatek has successfully installed its solar film, HeliaFilm®, on a PVC-based membrane air dome in Berlin, Germany.

Clocking energy-transfer rates in quantum dots

Energy transfer in light-sensitive materials such as quantum dots is of interest for better solar cells, LEDs, and other devices.
