Nano-Engineered Batteries Exhibit Remarkable Power Density, Charging More Than 40 Times Faster Than Today's Lithium-Ion Batteries

The material is called a “nanoscoop” because it resembles a cone with a scoop of ice cream on top. Nanoscoops can withstand extremely high rates of charge and discharge that would cause today’s Li-Ion batteries to rapidly deteriorate and fail.

Lithium-Ion Battery – Potential Business Opportunities

Vishal Sapru, Research Manager Power Supplies & Batteries, Frost & Sullivan

The US is a significant market for lithium-ion batteries for consumer, industrial and automotive applications in the North American region. The economic recession had a significant impact in the demand for lithium-ion batteries, particularly for consumer and industrial portable devices. This was witnessed by a decline in demand during the first two quarters of 2009, caused by decreasing demand for consumer electronic devices in the US.
However, signs of recovery began from the third quarter of 2009, with industrial application showing quick revival and consumer applications gaining strength. Read more about Lithium-Ion Battery – Potential Business Opportunities

Lithium-Ion and Regulations: Updating from a Storm Watch to a Storm Warning

Dr. Kerry Lanza, Palladium Energy

“Ladies and gentlemen, before takeoff, please stow your tray tables and put your seatbacks in their full upright and locked position. For your safety, please hand over your cell phones, laptops, MP3 players, cameras, DVD players and anything else with a lithium-ion battery in it.”  Lithium-ion batteries, the rechargeable energy source that has made our modern, on-the-go life possible, are under scrutiny. This time from the airline industry. Read more about Lithium-Ion and Regulations: Updating from a Storm Watch to a Storm Warning

Lithium-Ion Technology: A Step Forward in the Green Agenda

Anu Cherian, Senior Industry Analyst, Energy & Power Systems Group, Frost & Sullivan

The automotive sector grabbed all the attention in 2009 with the release of several concept vehicles. This was most definitely a tricky diversion from the overwhelming grim economy. Consumers were so used to fulfilling their desires for the latest cars with easy loans in 2008. Read more about Lithium-Ion Technology: A Step Forward in the Green Agenda

Advancements in Li-Ion Battery Manufacturing Give Designers a Greener Choice

Dr. Ake Almgren, International Battery

With today’s focus on designing more environmentally friendly products and taking advantage of the latest energy storage technologies, it behooves designers to look at the process by which batteries are manufactured.  It would not make sense if we are actually putting more toxins and pollutants in our environment in the quest to be green.
