Envision a solar panel that is fully repairable, upgradable, and recyclable at high value at end of life to support an energy transition that is truly sustainable. The technology and production process will be open source to maximize its reach to all people across the globe.
A new cleaning method could remove dust on solar installations in water-limited regions, improving overall efficiency.
This study presents a simple approach to preparing a robust surface modified nickel-rich cathode material for Li-ion battery application. A detailed comparison of the importance of cathode and the present study to make a big difference in achieving the low-cost future battery are explained.
A team of researchers has reviewed the state-of-the-art in ultra-compact batteries, finding challenges that lie in the path of dust-mote computing — and has proposed a clever approach to packing the power required into a tiny footprint.
How can we make energy storage systems even better? We already have long lasting energy storage systems and high power energy storage systems. An ideal energy storage system should feature both high energy and high power. We explore how to make that possible.
