Safe, flexible and powerful: Power racks as game changers for the energy transition
Sponsored by Elektro-Automatik. Whether wind energy, solar power or green hydrogen – energy from sustainable and climate-neutral production is becoming increasingly important. The increasing electrification of the world inevitably affects our critical infrastructure. The requirements for the new energy sources in terms of speed of expansion, flexibility and reliability are correspondingly high. To meet these… Read more »
How NanoGraf is commercializing the “world’s most energy-dense” 18650 battery cell with stable silicon oxide
Q&A with NanoGraf COO Connor Hund Graphite, a pure form of carbon, is a critical material for battery anodes. Graphite’s physical structure allows it to store lithium ions, which merrily migrate to the anode when the battery is charged. Unlike cathodes, which can be composed of various combinations of chemicals (cobalt, nickel, manganese, lithium, iron,… Read more »
LiNa Energy demonstrates dynamic containment with its solid-state sodium batteries
LiNa Energy, a developer of solid-state sodium batteries, has successfully completed an independent demonstration of its batteries for energy storage systems. In the test, a 1 kW / 1 kWh LiNa system performed dynamic containment. This is a key revenue stream for battery energy storage systems in the UK, which requires rapid injection and absorption… Read more »
Researchers create electrode with high energy capacity from nanosheets
A team of researchers has fabricated thick electrodes from two-dimensional materials in order to design an electrode for faster charging and higher energy capacity in lithium-ion batteries. “Two-dimensional materials are commonly believed [to be] a promising candidate for high-rate energy storage applications because it only needs to be several nanometers thick for rapid charge transport,”… Read more »
Peugeot reveals new e-208, with up to 400 km range
Peugeot’s e-208 has sold almost 110,000 units since its launch in 2019, and the company says it’s the best-selling EV in France so far in 2022. Now the electric city car has gotten a major upgrade for 2023. A new engine will deliver 115 kW/156 hp (a 15% increase) and 260 Nm of torque, while… Read more »
