Storage Synthesis of Power Systems via Dynamic Meta-control Schema

Kohn W., Zabinsky Z.B., Crowdpoint Technologies, US

Electric vehicles are usually driven by induction or DC motors. They are provided with dynamic braking and acceleration: during braking, the motor becomes a generator driven by the wheels; and during acceleration, the motor requires [...]

Molecular Modeling of Silicon-Based Anode Material for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries

Schweizer S., Low J.J., Subramanian L., Scienomics, US

Lithium(Li)-ion batteries are widely used in portable electronic devices. Their use as energy storage system in other important industrial fields - such as electric vehicles, wind turbines, or photo voltaic plants - is limited by [...]

Development of Li-rich Layered Cathode Nanomaterials for High Energy Li-ion Batteries

Tan C., Aegis Technology, Inc, US

There is a great interest in developing energy storage systems based on more advanced lithium ion (Li-ion) battery technology, which has wide applications over the range from small portable electronics (cell phone, laptop) to large [...]

High surface area metal electrode

Liu W., Molecule Works Inc., US

Electrodes are one of essential components in electro-chemical energy conversion devices used for energy storage and generation. In this presentation, micro- and nano-engineered electrodes made of metallic backbones will be introduced. The electrode comprises a [...]

A New Sonochemical Synthesis Route for Silicon Nanoparticle Inks for Energy and Nanomedical Applications

Cádiz Bedini A.P., Chen C., Klingebiel B., Notten P.H.L., Rau U., Forschungszentrum Jülich, DE

Silicon nanoparticles (Si-NPs) have become increasingly relevant in several important fields ranging from solar cells, next-generation quantum dot LEDs, lithium-ion batteries, and because silicon is biodegradable, their use as drug carriers or fluorescent markers has [...]
