Energy Storage

There are just three weeks left until IDTechEx's Supercapacitors USA event in Santa Clara California, on November 20-21.

Researchers report that wood-biochar supercapacitors can produce as much power as today's activated-carbon supercapacitors at a fraction of the cost - and with environmentally friendly byproducts.

A combination of nanotechnology and the traditional art of paper folding, known as origami, could be a key to a significant step toward improved battery technologies.

Mouser Electronics, Inc., has announced they will be a major sponsor and participant of the Energy Harvesting & Storage USA 2013 event, set for Nov. 20-21 in Santa Clara, California.

The new Nano X-ray Computed Tomography tools will become part of a nationally unique fuel cell testing and characterization facility.

A combination of nanotechnology and the traditional art of paper folding, known as origami, could be a key to a significant step toward improved battery technologies.

By improving the energy capacity of lithium-ion batteries, a new electrode made from iron oxide nanoparticles could help electric vehicles to cover greater distances.

Research findings indicate the material shows promise as a sensor for detecting glucose in the saliva or tears and for "supercapacitors" that could make possible fast-charging, high-performance batteries.

It is the first supercapacitor that is made out of silicon so it can be built into a silicon chip along with the microelectronic circuitry that it powers.

A123 Venture Technologies, a Massachusetts technology incubator, has announced its collaboration with MIT startup SolidEnergy.

A revolutionary concept for lightweight structural energy storage components that could improve the energy usage of future electrified vehicles.

The company is now in position to dominate the world market in the production of large-area electrospray coating equipment that can be used to lower the manufacturing cost of high-technology products such as lithium-ion batteries, solar panels, fuel cells, and energy efficient glass.

Volvo Car Group has developed a revolutionary concept for lightweight structural energy storage components that could improve the energy usage of future electrified vehicles.

The core technology for lithium air secondary battery, the next generation high capacity battery, has been finally developed.

A new $8 million battery lab has opened at the University of Michigan that will help Ford develop batteries that are smaller, lighter and less expensive to produce.

Toyota Motor Corp said it has slashed the cost of the fuel cell system in its next hydrogen-powered car by almost $1 million, putting it on course to launch a mid-sized sedan in 2015 with a price ticket below $100,000, according to Reuters.

The types of LG Chem's future batteries can be categorized as stepped, curved and cable batteries.

A substance made from gelatin could be used to replace platinum in fuel cells, according to research.

Supercapacitors are a curiously neglected aspect of electronics and electrical engineering with a multi-billion dollar market rapidly emerging.

IDTechEx will be hosting a free webinar 'Organic vs Aqueous Electrolyte Supercapacitors - Which will win?' on Thursday 10 October and we would be delighted if you could join us.
