ACS Applied Materials Interfaces recently published a study by University of Maryland scientists, who have discovered a new method for preparing batteries. This new preparation method starts with baking a leaf, and then adding sodium. The scientists used a carbonized oak leaf filled with sodium as a negative terminal or anode for the demonstration battery.
Researchers from EPFL have discovered a solution that will aid in making electric cars competitive, enabling them to be charged as fast as it takes to fill a tank of gas. The solution is an intermediate storage which does not affect the power grid.
Rechargeable batteries power everything from electric vehicles to wearable gadgets, but obstacles limit the creation of sleeker, longer-lasting and more efficient power sources.
The U.S transportation sector consisting of cars, trucks, buses, and rail, marine, and air transport accounts for over 20% of the energy consumed. This energy is derived mostly from fossil fuels. The need for finding alternative environment friendly forms of fuel is on the rise.
New production process allows industrial use and power outputs in the two- to three-digit megawatt range / German Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) provides 3.9 million euros funding for “extruded plate” project as cross-sector collaboration between industry and research
The joint research team of Prof. Yoon Seok Jung (UNIST, School of Energy and Chemical Engineering) and Prof. Seng M. Oh (Seoul National University) discovered a new way to develop all-solid-state lithium batteries without a risk of conflagration or explosion.
PRBA – The Rechargeable Battery Association today congratulated the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration for issuing a safety alert on hoverboard shipments and intercepting 32 cargo containers of hoverboards with lithium batteries improperly prepared for shipment.
Neah Power Systems, Inc., an emerging leader in fuel cell-based power solutions and rechargeable lithium battery storage solutions for defense, commercial, and consumer applications, proudly announced that the Company has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with a large South Africa based entity, to license the NEAH's technology. This license would include the PowerChip® fuel cell technology, the Formira HOD® technology and the BuzzBar technology.
Energy consumption can be one of the most critical cost factors in manufacturing, especially for processes requiring a continuous and intensive use of energy. IK4-IKERLAN, a Spanish technology centre based in the Basque Country, is busy engineering integrated tools for battery packs used in industry with innovative energy efficiency features. And what is more, these tools can be used to put in place control strategies aimed at releasing energy to the process when it is most needed, in step with price peaks on the market.
Energy storage system owners could see significant savings from a new flow battery technology that is projected to cost 60 percent less than today's standard flow batteries.
