Thermal Management Expo, is the only free-to-attend exhibition and conference dedicated to the thermal management sector, taking place on August 30-31 at the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland, Ohio, USA.

Volkswagen Group broke the ground for its first cell factory in Salzgitter. Production will start in 2025. With immediate effect, responsibility for global battery business is to be held by the newly created company "PowerCo". In addition to cell production, the new company will be responsible for activities along the entire battery value chain.

Watts Battery offer a modular portable power station (PPS) product, which can be integrated with solar energy/panels. This is the only product they offer as they are a young company. A PPS is a rechargeable battery that is large enough to provide backup power to your home, appliances, or for outdoor activities. These are typically larger than power banks but of lesser capacity to the batteries one would find in a purely residential setting. Their PPS product uses NMC cathodes.

Ceylon Graphene Technologies are a Sri Lankan company producing graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). IDTechEx spoke with Manju Gunawardana (CEO).

Elywhere makes mobile, battery-powered fast charging stations. Its solution is ideal for places where EV charging demand is high and spare grid capacity to install chargers is low. Its solution is portable and offers high power charging using on-board battery storage. IDTechEx spoke to its CEO, Kenneth Hauge, at EVS35 in Oslo.

ULVAC-PHI integrates every surface analysis technology which is essential for battery research and development into an advanced automated platform to contribute to battery performance and longevity through thin film and interface characterizations.

Fremo are a small start-up company operating in the portable power station (PPS) space. They have an ongoing kickstarter campaign for a PPS product. A PPS is a rechargeable battery that is large enough to provide backup power to your home, appliances, or for outdoor activities. These are typically larger than power banks, but of lesser capacity to the batteries one would find in a purely residential setting. Their PPS product uses LFP cathodes.

Researchers have developed a new hydrogen fuel cell which is not only the world's most durable1 to date, but is also more cost-effective, paving way for a wider application of green energy in the pursuit of a carbon neutral world.

Polar Night Energy and Vatajankoski, an energy utility based in Western Finland, have together constructed a sand-based thermal energy storage. It is the world's first commercial solution to store electricity in the sand as heat to be used in a district heating network.

This premium article focuses on solid-state batteries, in particular exploring a selection of the latest progress in solid-state batteries, controversial opinions, and the current global environment.

The conductive fast-charging system as we know it today has drawbacks such as long dwell times, high power demand from the grid, availability and reliability issues, and the need for end-users to deal with heavy cables, dirty connectors, and buggy user interfaces. Battery-swapping is an emerging technology that aims to address all of these shortcomings.

Goal Zero offer a range of energy storage and generation products. This robust portfolio of products includes portable power stations (PPS), solar panels, home and vehicle integration kits, expansion tanks, and lighting. The company has prioritised disaster relief, community empowerment, and humanitarian missions for over 12 years, on which they pride themselves on. A PPS is a rechargeable battery that is large enough to provide backup power to your home, appliances, or for outdoor activities.

To power our increasingly electrified society, energy storage technology must evolve and adapt to meet the growing demand. Lithium-ion batteries, already essential to myriad technology, will require dramatic improvements in high-energy density, safety, temperature resilience, and environmental sustainability in order to provide the type of emission-free future that so many envision.

One of the major environmental issues facing the planet today is the rising levels of plastic consumption and waste. As carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions also soar, the emerging carbon capture and utilization (CCU) industry propose a solution for both issues: creating lower-carbon, degradable polymers using CO2 emissions as the feedstock.

The European Commission finances with more than 10 million euros a project to develop new technological processes for the recovery of critical raw materials contained in electric vehicle batteries, through the Horizon Europe programme. A consortium of 18 partners from seven countries will develop this project, known as BATRAW, which is of strategic importance for the EU in reducing its dependence on imports of these critical raw materials, as well as being able to guarantee a stable supply chain in view of the expected growth of the electric mobility market in Europe in the coming years.

Ecoflow offer a range of energy storage products including solar generators, portable power stations, portable solar panels, power banks, refurbished products, and smart appliances. They are a strong company in the energy storage and generation space due to their wide portfolio of products and strong company financials. A PPS is a rechargeable battery that is large enough to provide backup power to your home, appliances, or for outdoor activities. These are typically larger than power banks, but of lesser capacity to the batteries one would find in a purely residential setting. Their PPS products use LFP cathodes.
