Originally published on Apricum Group. By Florian Haacke and Dr. Hendrik Kienert Driven by an increasing share of renewable energy and e-mobility, the energy storage market is exhibiting substantial growth, which Apricum expects will continue for the foreseeable future. This not only presents new opportunities for energy storage system suppliers, … [continued]
I am not a car buff. I’m actually not a car kind of person at all. However, there is just something about a Tesla. So with all the terrific Tesla videos out there, I decided to add this one to my Tesla views and I suggest you do too. “How it’s Made, … [continued]
Originally published on Solar Love. With all the attention being paid to Panasonic and its partnership with Tesla in the GigaFactory under construction in Nevada, people sometimes forget that there are other battery companies in the world. So it comes as a surprise that Toshiba grid storage batteries will be … [continued]
Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory shoot a micro-beam of fluid, discover a new pathway for improving lithium-ion battery efficiency.
Indeed, I may very well have OCD. Rather than pick 10 like any normal blogger, I went ahead and picked 100 top EV stories for this end-of-year wrap up. And these follow the 33 I highlighted at the end of May. Incidentally, I didn’t aim for 100 but just happened … [continued]
We were just thinking that fuel cells could give lithium-ion batteries a run for the money when it comes to dominating the electric vehicle market of the future, when along comes MXenes, a new group of funky little atom-thin, two-dimensional materials that could keep Li-ion in the front of the … [continued]
While lithium-ion batteries are current champs of the electric vehicle market, fuel cells are beginning to come on strong. If that trend continues it raises some intriguing future scenarios, namely, fuel cells could eventually squeeze out Li-ion batteries altogether, or both technologies could co-exist to some degree, engaging in a … [continued]
Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are hot on the trail of a lithium-sulfur battery that packs four times the punch of conventional lithium-ion batteries. Given the low cost of sulfur, if the technology can be commercialized it would have a huge impact on the market for energy-storing devices powered … [continued]
A new tool has been created by researchers at Purdue University that is able to detect flaws in lithium-ion batteries while they are still being manufactured, potentially greatly improving the quality and reliability of the batteries and also cutting down on waste/inefficiency. Specifically, the new tool is able to flag … [continued]
