Energy Storage

In electric vehicle (EV) batteries, coatings play a critical role in enhancing performance, safety and longevity. This article highlights the latest technologies, developments, applications and outlook for advanced coatings in EV battery applications. Fire protection, dielectric insulation, corrosion protection and thermally conductive coatings are all covered.

The market for remote battery monitoring is expected to continue to grow over the next decade, fueled by demand from mobility and energy storage system managers. This trend is tied to increasing interest in wireless battery management systems (wBMSs) to save on wiring costs and reduce battery pack complexity, though the majority of the market will continue to be made up of wired BMSs using gateways to convert to wireless communications protocols.

Graphene has been discussed as a wonder material that will unlock the next-generation technologies seen in sci-fi movies. This article explores why these advances have not been seen, the tangible success that graphene has shown in consumer electronics and a look to the potential role of graphene in the next iteration of batteries.
