Electric vehicles and most electronic devices, such as cell phones and laptop computers, are powered by lithium-ion batteries. Until now, manufacturers have had to design their devices around the size and shape of commercially available batteries. But researchers have developed a new method to 3D print lithium-ion batteries in virtually any shape.

The Battery Show is a unique opportunity for Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers in North America to showcase their capabilities in terms of electric powertrain solutions. With an impressive year on year growth, this event can be considered the main tradeshow to attend for those seeking to establish business relations in the EV industry.

The innovative collaboration of Voith and Siemens intends to broaden their relationship by defining potential forms of collaboration for appropriate hybrid power projects containing hydropower.

A leading African telecom integrator, will install the new GenCell A5 Off-Grid Power Solution at 800 telecom base stations across Kenya.

This coming November 14-15 at the Santa Clara Convention Center, leading players in the battery and energy storage industry will compete to capture the audience's attention over what technology is set to dominate in the coming decade.

Aggreko announces the full integration of energy storage pioneer Younicos. From today, Younicos will start trading as Aggreko.

IDTechEx will be hosting a free webinar on Tuesday 23 October titled Multifunctionality is the key next step for polymer composites.

This new technology will be used to provide silent, zero emission power.

This coming November 14-15 at the Santa Clara Convention Center, leading players in the battery and energy storage industry will compete to capture the audience's attention over what technology is set to dominate in the coming decade.

The performance breakthrough means that Innolith batteries will now cost between one third and one tenth per cycle compared to conventional Li ion batteries. This will enable more batteries to be deployed to harvest renewables, stabilise the grid through frequency regulation and provide other grid services.

Materials scientists have sussed out the physical phenomenon underlying the promising electrical properties of a class of materials called superionic crystals. A better understanding of such materials could lead to safer and more efficient rechargeable batteries than the current standard-bearer of lithium ion.

In a new approach, inspired by biology a university team has designed a fuel cell using cheaper materials and an organic compound that shuttles electrons and protons.

Ever since the economic crisis, the motorcycle market in the U.S. has stagnated as the industry has struggled to attract younger, more safety-conscious riders. Electrification is the jump-start needed, and is why the likes of Harley Davidson, U.S. motorcycling icon and survivor of the great depression, is looking to re-invent itself by going electric.

ElectraNet's ESCRI-SA grid connected 30 MW / 8 MWh Battery Energy Storage System is located seven kilometres south-east of Stansbury adjacent to ElectraNet's existing Dalrymple substation and will demonstrate how energy storage can strengthen the grid and improve reliability for the lower Yorke Peninsula.

Wearables are portable systems that contain sensors to collect measurement data from our bodies. Powering these sensors without wires calls for pliable batteries that can adapt to the specific material and deliver the power the system requires.

IDTechEx attended and presented at the International Aerogel Seminar held in Hamburg, Germany, between the 24th and 26th of September.
