ion Ventures, a modern utility and energy storage infrastructure specialist, and LiNa Energy , a solid-state battery technology developer, concluded their first successful trial of LiNa’s proprietary solid-state sodium-nickel battery platform at an undisclosed location in South East England last week.
UK-based Faradion, a developer of sodium-ion battery technology ( earlier post ), and Phillips 66 have launched a new technical collaboration to develop lower-cost and higher-performing anode materials for sodium-ion batteries. Earlier post.).
Production at locations with high electricity prices—such as Germany—is, therefore, very high-cost. The Fraunhofer engineers want to change this. Our dry transfer coating process aims to noticeably reduce the process costs in electrode coating. BroadBit uses it to produce new types of sodium-ion batteries.
Stationary energy storage systems that can operate for many cycles, at high power, with high round-trip energy efficiency, and at lowcost are required. Cost is a greater concern. We decided we needed to develop a new chemistry if we were going to make low-cost batteries and battery electrodes for the power grid.
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed a nanometric graphite-like anode for sodium ion (Na + storage), formed by stacked graphene sheets functionalized only on one side, termed Janus graphene. The estimated sodium storage up to C 6.9 Na is comparable to graphite for standard lithium ion batteries.
Tin (Sn) shows promise as a robust electrode material for rechargeable sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries, according to a new study by a team from the University of Pittsburgh and Sandia National Laboratory. reversible and rapid ion insertion and extraction, but using sodium ions rather than lithium. for the positive electrode.
Stanford researchers have developed a sodium-ion battery (SIB) that can store the same amount of energy as a state-of-the-art lithium ion, at substantially lower cost. Thus, further research is required to find better sodium host materials. The sodium salt makes up the cathode; the anode is made up of phosphorous.
British battery R&D company Faradion has demonstrated a proof-of-concept electric bike powered by sodium-ion batteries at the headquarters of Williams Advanced Engineering, which collaborated in the development of the bike. Sodium-ion intercalation batteries—i.e., Oxford University was also a partner. Earlier post.)
nm, average) of iron pyrite (FeS 2 ) nanoparticles are advantageous to sustain reversible conversion reactions in sodium ion and lithium ion batteries. FeS 2 is particularly attractive for energy storage technology due to its earth abundance, low toxicity, and low raw material cost. … nanometers in size.
Their lowcost and ability to start the engine at cold temperatures sets them apart in conventional and basic micro-hybrid vehicles, and as auxiliary batteries in all other automotive applications, according to the report. Sodium-nickel chloride batteries. Other battery technologies (nickel-metal hydride, lead-based etc.)
Next generation sodium ion batteries–NEXGENNA. It will accelerate the development of sodium ion battery technology by taking a multi-disciplinary approach incorporating fundamental chemistry right through to considerations for scale-up and cell manufacturing.
Cyclonatix, Inc is developing an industrial-sized motor/controller to operate with either DC or AC power sources, for applications in electric vehicles, solar-powered pumps, HVAC&R, gas compressors, and other commercial and industrial machines which require high efficiency, variable speed/torque, and lowcost.
This investment is part of our ongoing strategy to put the UK at the forefront of low carbon vehicle technology. We are funding innovative projects in a number of key areas which include internal combustion engine technologies, energy storage and management, lightweight structures and new propulsion technologies.
Hurst also notes that the market for hybrid locomotives faces stiff competition from newer fuel-efficient locomotives such as diesel gensets, and in many world regions, the locomotive engine does not have to meet strict emissions rules. Other benefits include reduced noise levels and lower maintenance costs. —Dave Hurst.
Eagle Picher, in partnership with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, will develop a new generation of high energy, lowcost planar liquid sodium beta batteries for grid scale electrical power storage applications. LowCost, High Energy and Power Density, Nanotube-Enhanced Ultracapacitors. Earlier post.)
The extreme valve temperatures experienced on today’s highly boosted downsized engines can lead to reduced valve fatigue life and critical valve guide and stem seal temperatures, resulting in the need for expensive valve steel alloys. A combination of HTC and TIM technologies reduced peak inlet valve head temperatures by between 26 and 32°C.
lithium, sodium or potassium) on a copper–carbon cathode current collector at a voltage of more than 3.0 Finally, sodium is cheaper than lithium and widely available from the oceans, which makes a sodium battery preferable to a lithium battery, but insertion hosts for Na + have lower capacities than insertion hosts for Li +.
Toyo-Thai Corporation Public Company Limited (TTCL) is providing engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services to the project. The captured pollutants are mineralized into solid products, including sodium bicarbonate, which are stored, transported and sold as safe, stable solids.
Professor Patrik Johansson from the Chalmers University suggests the usd of abundant aluminum for a sustainable battery technology that directly addresses the need of low-cost concepts. The Open Innovation Contest on energy storage is coordinated by the BASF research unit “Process Research and Chemical Engineering.
GE is developing improvements to its sodium metal halide batteries for use in a new generation of cleaner locomotives and stationary applications to smooth intermittent renewable power generation as it interconnects with the grid and critical load back-up power and other applications. Industry-Led Commercialization Partnerships: $4.8
Researchers from Nanyang Technical University (NTU) in Singapore have shown high-capacity, high-rate, and durable lithium- and sodium-ion battery (LIB and NIB) performance using single-crystalline long-range-ordered bilayered VO 2 nanoarray electrodes. The VO 2 nanoarrays are supported on graphene foam (GF) and coated with a thin (?2
This three-year project incorporates engineering of fleet control, manufacturing and installation of seven 500-kW/6-hour TransFlow 2000 energy storage systems in California, Massachusetts, and New York to lower peak energy demand and reduce the costs of power interruptions. 16,080,554. . 12,392,120.
