Innovation roadmap for LIB recycling approaches.

EVs Are the Next Big Opportunity for Fire Protection Materials

The occurrence of fires in electric vehicles (EVs) is less common than their combustion engine counterparts, in total number but also in terms of the rate per miles traveled. However infrequent, it is extremely important to protect the vehicle's occupants and prolong the time for a fire to exit the battery pack for as long as possible.

IDTechEx Report Reveals Surging Li-ion Battery Market

Rapid growth in the Li-ion market is expected over the next ten years. IDTechEx forecast the Li-ion battery market will reach over US$430 billion by 2033. Electric vehicles (EV) and transportation will represent the largest market. By 2033, battery electric cars will constitute over 90% of Li-ion demand, by GWh, by 2030.

Starter Cells for Cultured Meat

The first stage in producing cultured meat is choosing the right starter cells. To produce something identical to conventional meat, the cells that produce muscle, fat, and connective tissue are all necessary. Simply using developed muscle cells extracted from animals is not suitable for cultured meat, as these cells proliferate very slowly. In contrast, stem cells divide rapidly and can differentiate into any other type of cell. However, there are ethical issues associated with their use, culturing protocols for common meat animals have generally not been established, and directed differentiation is complex. In this premium article, IDTechEx explores the types of starter cells being used by the industry to grow muscle and fat cells.
