Electroactive Polymers as Battery Electrodes
Plastic power, or energy storage platforms primarily consisting of polymers, offers opportunities never before available in current state-of-the-art prismatic or coin cells, such as flexible, structural, or stretchable energy storage. Electroactive polymers, a class of [...]
The Impact of Dielectric Coatings and Porosity of Nanoparticles on Energy Density
Using experimentally calibrated 3-D quasi-electrostatic simulations, various microstructural architectures of cold-pressed nanoparticle (NP) compacts for low-frequency energy storage applications are investigated. This work is built upon our investigations into metal-insulator composites [1] and dielectric composites [...]
Nanostructured Magnets and High-Power-Density Synchronous Generators
This paper examines enabling nanotechnology solutions for power generation systems (GGS) to improve and empower clean and renewable energy systems [1, 2]. The goal is to design electric machines with nanostructured magnets. We design optimized [...]
MaimAir: A Flexible and Modular Energy Storage System for Tomorrow Energy Banks
We considered a novel energy storage system based on the compression of air through pumped water. Differently from CAES on trial, the proposed indirect compression leaves the opportunity to choose the kind of compression from [...]
Hydrogen Adsorption on Isoreticular Metal-Organic Framework
Implement the use of hydrogen as an alternative energy source would reduce the use of fossil fuels, therefore it seeks to challenge any difficulty, mainly storage; an alternative of great interest is the use of [...]
Bending the DoD Energy Consumption Curve With Big Data Analytics (Conserving Energy with 1’s and 0’s)
In 2014 Frontier Technology, Inc. (FTI) utilized Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) funded technologies to develop a Decision Support and Optimization System Model for energy consumption for the United States Navy’s Fleet Forces Command (USFF). [...]
Design of a heat-recirculating combustor for a thermophotovoltaic system
Kim H.K., Kim T.-Y., Kim H.K., Kim T.-Y., Kwon O.C., School of Mechanical Engineering Sungkyunkwan University, KR
Recently, the demand for light, fast-charging and long-lasting portable power sources to replace current lithium-ion batteries has been increased because of development of portable electronic devices such as laptop computers, cellular phones and signal equipments. [...]
