Energy Storage

The open-access lab will provide space to build and test battery concepts while fully protecting the intellectual property of its users.

IDTechEx reports Dr. Cai's work in Lithium Sulphur Batteries at General Motors Research and Development.Dr. Cai presented her work at the Battery Show in Novi Michigan in September 2015.

Paraclete Energy Corp. is a company focused on silicon materials, originally focusing in photovoltaic cell technology the company decide to move to silicon anode materials. The company is commercializing a silicon-carbon composite with a surface modifier which they can double the capacity of standard graphite anodes whilst achieving 1000 cycles.

IDTechEx report from a FlexTech Alliance workshop on novel & innovative power sources for lightweight devices and wearable electronics

Leaders cover high power and low power energy harvesting at the World's largest event on energy harvesting technologies and their application, Energy Harvesting & Storage USA, to be held in Santa Clara on November 18-19.

Video interview with Eight19 at Printed Electronics Europe.

The scientists whose job it is to test the limits of what nature—specifically chemistry— will allow to exist, just set up shop on some new real estate on the Periodic Table.

Bosch is debuting a new battery technology for electric cars that could be production-ready in as little as five years.

The most dramatic new advances and visions have no name initially. So it is with electric vehicles that need no external charging or refuelling - no, not even wireless charging.

UES Inc has been awarded a $45,000,000 indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract by the US Air Force for research and development efforts for the Soft Organic Functional Technology program.

Some of the 300 million tires discarded each year in the United States alone could be used in supercapacitors for vehicles and the electric grid.

An international team of scientists led by the inventor of the lithium ion battery has put forward a new cathode material for its potential successor, the sodium ion battery.

Wildcat Discovery Technologies is a materials R&D company located in San Diego, California. Wildcat is focused on the discovery of advanced materials for lithium-ion batteries, with secondary work on variety of other applications. Wildcat scientists use proprietary state-of-the-art high throughput technology to synthesize and test thousands of battery materials, each fully formulated and tested in actual cells. Wildcat collaborates with industry leaders around the world to develop promising new materials for new and promising rechargeable and primary battery technologies.

As energy harvesting becomes a different and much more noticed subject, IDTechEx monitors the situation by intensive visits to many events, companies and universities. The meeting of the Japan Energy Harvesting Consortium September 2015 was certainly revealing.

Electric buses are deeply significant, being a key to the control of urban pollution and often first to adopt innovative parts.

The Artega Scalo with a purely electric drive is the direct successor of the Artega GT, which inspired car fans around the world.

Scientists have developed an alkaline flow battery that they hope will help to tackle the tricky problem of storing energy from renewable power sources such as wind and solar.

A unique, multipurpose unmanned ground vehicle will be the first vehicle of its kind to use ultracapacitor technology.
