How integrated hybrid systems optimise the use of energy, safeguarding the life cycle of electrochemical batteries and revolutionizing the electrification process. Not the usual hybrid, but an innovative system that is revolutionizing the current energy sector, making it possible to accelerate the process of electrification now undertaken in many sectors. We are not talking about the […]

This week, researchers have demonstrated their design for a new supercapacitor that provides a potential power solution for wearable electronics. What problems do wearable technologies face, and how does flexible electronics help to make wearable devices a reality? Ridged Designs The wearable electronics industry is currently in its infancy, and products in this field are […]

Silicon is an appealing anode material for Li-ion batteries because it can hold about 10 times the electrical charge per gram compared to graphite. However, silicon suffers from large volume change during lithiation/delithiation, leading to structure failure. Although nanostructured Si can mitigate that structure failure, nanomaterials, with their high surface area and low tap density, […]

Tesla patents a new NCA electrode that is likely going to be used in its new battery cell built in-house, which is expected to be longer-lasting and cheaper. We previously reported on Tesla’s battery research partner, Jeff Dahn and his team at Dalhousie University, unveiling the impressive results of tests on e new battery cell […]
