Energy Storage

T Rohrs brings more than 30 Years of semiconductor, energy and technology management experience to Skyline; Bob MacDonald to remain as CTO

Using super-high pressures similar to those found deep in the Earth or on a giant planet, Washington State University researchers have created a compact, never-before-seen material capable of storing vast amounts of energy.

Engineers at Nottingham University are developing a new generation of super batteries that will collect, store and, when called upon, quickly release electricity generated by renewables.

Oman is going make electric cars, according to a company executive in the oil rich - and sun rich - state.

MIT team finds that using carbon nanotubes in a lithium battery can dramatically improve its energy capacity

MIT researchers report this month that they have found a way to produce a tenfold increase in the power delivery ("power density") of lithium ion batteries.

Laminar batteries are increasingly adopted in electronics because they have better cooling, damage tolerance and performance in respect of charge and discharge speed when optimally designed for this shape. Companies such as Cymbet and Infinite Power Solutions already supply small laminar lithium batteries for such applications as backup power for electronics and some even continue to operate if a nail is driven through them.

Mr. Pierre Mars, vice president of quality and applications engineering for CAP-XX Ltd, will speak at both the IDTechEx Energy Harvesting and Storage Europe and Sensors Expo conferences on the power management challenges of battery-free wireless sensor networks (WSNs) powered by environmentally-harvested energy.

We believe Illuminex has world-leading nanowire manufacturing capabilities in terms of breadth of materials, substrates, shapes and structures.
