Organic-based, solid-state lithium EV battery developed with altered microstructure
University of Houston and Rice University researchers have discovered that thanol solvent boosts battery energy density, which could improve electric vehicles (EVs) and other battery-dependent machines.
Lithium battery developments step forward for electric vehicles, more
A team of scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has created a lithium-metal battery that lasts for 600 cycles, which brings it closer to a lithium-ion battery's lifecycle.
5 things to consider before implementing a UPS
Critical control systems feed the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and require uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to prevent momentary power interruptions that could cause an industrial PC or other industrial controller to crash. Here’s how to choose an industrial UPS.
Solid-state batteries designed for better performance
University of Illinois researchers have learned how control over the atomic alignment of solid materials can improve the cathode-solid electrolyte interface and stability in solid-state batteries, which can improve their performance and quality.
Mitigation, technologies for power system harmonics
Webcast teaches power system harmonics and best practices for harmonics mitigation and their relationship to IEEE 519, which guides the design of power systems with non-linear loads. The 2014 revision of IEEE 519 clarified language subject to interpretation and misinterpretation.
Metal-free, recyclable peptide battery developed
A multidisciplinary team of researchers from Texas A&M University has made a breakthrough that could lead to battery production moving away from cobalt with lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries.
Leveraging the 5G network to wirelessly power IoT devices
Turning 5G networks into a wireless power grid for Internet of Things (IoT) devices that need batteries to operate could eliminate them altogether down the road.
Energy management for industrial networks
Automation components consume a large amount of energy during production and can strain industrial networks' ability to run properly.
Aluminum-anode batteries offer sustainable alternative
Aluminum-anode batteries are safer, less expensive and more sustainable than lithium-ion batteries.
Quantum dot array could lead to efficient power devices
A quantum egg carton developed by University of Michigan researchers captures and releases photons, supporting “excited” quantum states while it possesses the extra energy, which could improve power devices' efficiency.
