Energy Storage

Researchers have developed an ultrasound-emitting device that brings lithium metal batteries one step closer to commercial viability. Although the research team focused on lithium metal batteries, the device can be used in any battery, regardless of chemistry.

StoreDot has appointed Tzemah Kislev to the newly created role of Vice President of Engineering.

A research team has developed a way to address a major safety issue with lithium metal batteries - an innovation that could make high-energy batteries more viable for next-generation energy storage.

Largest Dedicated Commercial Conference & Exhibition on Graphene & 2D Materials 13 - 14 May 2020 | Estrel Convention Center, Berlin, Germany

Masterclasses are the ideal way to train staff on emerging technologies. Bracketing the IDTechEx show in Berlin, the IDTechEx masterclasses on 12th and 15th May 2020 will contain the latest insights and analysis on their chosen topics.

The performance of the new electric drive system is comparable with that of diesel engines and the large battery option offers a significantly greater operating range. Additionally, the new battery technology has an extended temperature range and can be used worldwide in both very cold and warm climates.

Greater use of electric vehicles might be good for the environment, but further growth hinges on continued availability of critical battery components such as cobalt. Cell phones and other electronics also depend on the element's availability.

Sumitomo Heavy Industries Ltd and Highview Power are pleased to announce that the two companies have partnered to expand cryogenic energy storage projects globally.

Researchers have announced the development of silicon anode materials that can increase battery capacity four-fold in comparison to graphite anode materials and enable rapid charging to more than 80% capacity in only five minutes. When applied to batteries for electric vehicles, the new materials are expected to more than double their driving range.

esVolta, LP has closed an approximately $140 million senior secured credit facility to finance a portfolio of its utility-scale battery energy storage projects.

Founded in 1995, it is a professional supply platform for smart card chips and RFID products. SNS brings his longterm production experiences in contactless card and smart label into Printed Electronics, able to use Flexographic, Screen and Inkjet printing in Printed Electronics on various low-temperature substrates like Paper, PET etc. In house Pick and Place process for components with ACP brings Printed Electronic products into a higher level of product integrity.

Schneider Electric SE is a French multinational corporation. The company began to include software, critical power and smart grid applications, through strategic acquisitions, into its business in 2010.

What if we get rid of the hydrogen fuel supply chain? After all, fuel supply chains generally are yesterday's answer to society's problems. Here are some new ways through to that, maybe providing niche markets for fuel cell vehicles as we await better batteries. We refer to special boats, mining vehicles and trains.

The 100-megawatt Minety power storage project in south-west England is expected to be completed by the end of 2020. The two 50-MW batteries will enable SEEL and Shell subsidiary Limejump to optimise the use of renewable power in the area.

Some of the biggest hurdles to widespread adoption of electric vehicles are range anxiety, battery longevity and safety. As the electric vehicle market grows and for it to reach its full potential, there is an increased need for effective thermal management of the vehicles.

Rio Tinto has approved a $98 million (100 per cent basis) investment in a new solar plant at the Koodaideri mine in the Pilbara, Australia, as well as a lithium-ion battery energy storage system to help power its entire Pilbara power network.

KULR have extensive experience in battery safety for aerospace and defence applications, more recently they have been taking this knowledge and aplying it to the electric vehicle market.

redT is a company listed on the London Stock Exchange that has spent the last 20 years developing a vanadium redox flow battery for stationary applications.

Battery performance can make or break the electric vehicle experience, from driving range to charging time to the lifetime of the car. Now, artificial intelligence has made dreams like recharging an EV in the time it takes to stop at a gas station a more likely reality, and could help improve other aspects of battery technology.

While at the proof-of-concept stage, it shows enormous potential as a portable power supply in several practical applications including electric vehicles, phones and wearable technology.
