Energy Efficiency

Engineers already knew that size matters when using single-walled carbon nanotubes for their electrical properties. Until now, nobody had studied how electrons act when confronted with the Russian doll-like structure of multiwalled tubes. Now, researchers have calculated.

Lithium-ion batteries have the advantages of high energy density, fast charge/discharge ability, no memory effect and low self-discharge. The last step is to prevent the propagation of the thermal runaway from one cell to the neighbouring cells.

A new battery concept could lead to safe all-solid-state batteries. The idea is based on the long-sought goal of using pure lithium metal as one of the batterys two electrodes. An electrolyte allows lithium ions to travel back .

Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have created a device that uses a natural protein to create electricity from moisture in the air. The Air-gen connects electrodes to the protein nanowires in such a way that electrical current is generated from the water.

There is a significant increase in the number of industries that are installing switchgear. An outdated system can mean disruption of services and major financial losses. Every organization must upgrade and modernize its switchgear. Let us understand how this can be achieved.

Penn State engineers have demonstrated that they can charge an electrical vehicle in ten minutes. Lithium-ion batteries degrade when rapidly charged at ambient temperatures under 50 degrees Fahrenheit. The rapid cooling of battery would be accomplished using cooling system designed into .

Electric motors are implicated in two major decarbonisation options involving electrification: electric vehicles (EVs) and heat pumps. Electrical power sector is the fastest to decarbonise because of the wide variety of carbon-free energy sources that can generate electricity.
