EV battery funding successes and hopes

US and European funding for electric vehicle batteries continues to trickle in but at a more modest scale than before.

Inorganic and composite printed electronics is favoured

At the forthcoming event, Printed Electronics and Photovoltaics Europe 3-4 April in Berlin, one third of the 94 presentations and masterclasses primarily concern organic compounds but two thirds primarily concern inorganic and composite devices. The organisers did not steer it that way: the customers did.

Predicting success in electric vehicles

This article shares some of the research carried out for the latest in the series of 18 IDTechEx reports on electric vehicles and their components.

Printed Electronics for Electric Vehicles

More and more giant corporations are buying into printed electrics by acquiring companies partly or wholly in the field. The world's second largest chemical company Dow bought Rohm & Haas (materials), 3M bought into Printechnologics (printed patterns read by mobile phones) and DuPont bought Innovalight (nanosilicon layers to increase photovoltaic efficiency).

Sion Power announces $50 million equity investment

Sion Power Corporation, announced that BASF invested $50 million to acquire an equity ownership position in the company.

BASF invests $50 million in Sion Power to advance battery technology

BASF has invested $50 million to acquire an equity ownership position in Sion Power, developers of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, based in Tucson, Arizona.

Penetrating the fog surrounding lithium-ion traction batteries

To penetrate the fog surrounding lithium-ion traction batteries we should use the term generically for all rechargeable batteries involving lithium ions. For example, it is false to talk of lithium polymer as an alternative to lithium-ion because the term lithium polymer simply refers to a form of electrolyte involving solid polymer electrolyte usually with gel.

Research into batteries to give electric cars the same range as petrol

Research is being conducted at Risø DTU into the development and manufacture of new battery materials, e.g. improved electrode and electrolyte materials for the next generation of Li-ion and Li-air batteries. This requires insight and 'nano-scale engineering' as well as detailed understanding of the underlying processes.

BASF and Dow move further into EV technology

The world's largest chemical company is either BASF of Germany or Dow Chemical of the USA, depending on how you make the measurement. Both have been belatedly but strongly entering the electric vehicle business with materials and participation in device manufacturing joint ventures.

Leisure aviation, special missions and the future commercial applications

Traction battery winner will be Toyota?

We used to have battery makers and car makers and little connection between the two

Third generation batteries are needed

Most of today's pure electric vehicles and those announced for the next few years offer only 100 miles range. Ask a roomful of people if they would buy a car with that range and usually no hands go up.

Recent advances in lithium ion battery chemistry

Progress is now rapid in improving lithium rechargeable batteries known as lithium ion. Some are counterintuitive and a big surprise.

Solar powered unmanned aircraft sets new flight records

QinetiQ's Zephyr, a solar powered high-altitude long endurance unmanned aircraft, has completed two weeks of non-stop flight above a US Army range in Arizona.

2009

Thin films and nanotechnology for power

Printed electronics and electrics will be a $335 billion business in twenty years, just for devices primarily made by printing with electronic inks. IDTechEx gives a summary of the projections.

Lithium Air - batteries on steroids

Better traction batteries will lead to better batteries for energy harvesting. After all, both need to affordably pack more energy in a given space while improving battery life, fast charging and affordability.
