Researchers Claim Redox Flow Battery Breakthrough Will Cost $25 Per kWh Or Less
Researchers at Warwick University in the UK say they have found a way to make a redox flow battery that costs less than $25 per kWh. If that’s so, energy storage and renewable energy have just taken a giant step forward.
Smart Mobility Center Will Be Based At University Of Warwick
It was recently announced that a Smart City Mobility Centre will be based at the University of Warwick’s Wellesbourne campus, with driverless capable vehicle evaluation taking place on the Coventry and Warwickshire campus. Workers at the center will develop electric vehicle technology with modular architectures and incorporate driverless capabilities.
Researchers Claim Lithium-Ion Batteries Can Be Safely Recharged 5 Times Faster
Researchers at the University of Warwick have created a probe that can be inserted into a lithium ion battery cell to read its internal temperature. They say a typical cell can be charged up to five times faster without risk of fire or explosion.
Scientists Channel Tesla & Einstein To Invent New Double-Glazed Solar Panel
Researchers at the University of Warwick in England went back to the ideas of Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein to create a new double glazed solar panel that could also be used as a window.
Faradion Leads Energy Storage Trio Into Sodium-Ion Territory
The UK energy storage innovator Faradion ups the ante with a new marketing and development partnership for its sodium ion technology.
Nissan EV Batteries (Next Generation) To Be Produced In Sunderland, UK
Originally published on EV Obsession. Nissan has announced that it will be producing future-generation EV batteries in Sunderland, in the UK. First of all, this is exciting news for Sunderland and the UK as a whole, as it means high-quality, high-paying jobs for hundreds of people. Additionally, I’m viewing it … [continued]
Solar-Powered Electronics More Feasible with New High-Voltage Solar Cells
A new, relatively high-voltage solar cell that can charge the li-ion batteries of portable electronics such as e-book readers and cellphones in partial shade has been created by the University of Warwick and Molecular Solar. This type of solar cell is called an organic solar cell, plastic solar cell, or … [continued]
New Super-Powered Organic Solar Cells – We Can Has Solar-Powered Laptops Nao?
The solar power industry is hard at work (we think, based on neat things they all keep telling us) improving, refining, and redefining solar technology. This week, Molecular Solar Ltd informs us that they’ve got what they describe as a “significant breakthrough in the performance of solar photovoltaic (PV) cells.” They’ve managed a record voltage output in organic PVs, which more or less means that yes, you can power your electronic devices with solar cells.
