New Material Pushes Sodium-Ion Batteries to Phase out Costly Lithium

With lithium prices over five times higher than they were a year ago, researchers have developed a material for sodium-ion batteries, which offer an alternative to the increasingly expensive lithium-ion tech. The new material is a powder of sodium-vanadium phosphate fluoride with a particular crystal structure. Used in the battery cathode, it provides record-high energy storage capacity, eliminating one of the bottlenecks of the emerging sodium-ion technology.

Chinese OEMs' Electric Construction Machine Development

China is the world's largest market for mobile construction machines. Ten of the top 50 construction equipment manufactures by sales revenue are Chinese companies. Chinese OEMs are developing electric construction machines supported by the electric powertrain component supply chain, which has been built up as a result of a broad government push for heavy-duty vehicle electrification (buses and trucks). This article looks at the ongoing electrification activity of Chinese construction machine manufacturers, with examples from compact to larger machines.

A Water Activated Disposable Paper Battery

A team of researchers have developed a water-activated disposable paper battery. The researchers suggest that it could be used to power a wide range of low-power, single-use disposable electronics - such as smart labels for tracking objects, environmental sensors and medical diagnostic devices - and minimize their environmental impact.

Electric Cars as Buffer Storage for Solar Power

Infineon Technologies AG and Delta Electronics have developed a three-in-one-system that integrates solar, energy storage and charging of electric vehicles. Thanks to bidirectional inverters, the electric car is not only charged, but can also be used as a buffer storage or as household emergency backup power. More and more cars are equipped for this. Looking ahead, bidirectional energy flows coulf also be used to realize new vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid solutions.
