Recycling or refurbishing of lithium-ion batteries is crucial in tackling the challenges of climate change and air pollution. While there is the demand for batteries to have more capacity and longer life cycles, lots of time and investment are also required to dismantle and recycle batteries. Precious metal, such as Lithium, needs to be saved while

The Smart UPS system features a fully-modular system which is scalable and portable based on user's need. It is a portable and modular power system consisting of a master control unit, accompanied by slave battery power units. The master control unit has a touch-screen LCD control panel, power inverter, battery charger and telemetry system. The sla

This invention is related to a novel chemical process for extracting and recycling lead from lead acid battery paste and lead ores using a batch of non-acidic and non-hazardous solvents. This method is based on the complete dissolution of all lead compounds except metallic lead at ambient conditions and without using furnace or strong acids to extr

As the consumption of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for the transportation and consumer electronics sectors continues to grow, so does the pile of battery waste. Lithium-ion battery waste retains value particularly in the form of metal ions in the cathode part of the device, but few standardised methods exist to extract, recover, and reuse these pre

A UK company has developed a battery that does not run out. This is by using recycled nuclear waste and it converts radiation energy into electrical energy. Because it uses nuclear waste that stays radioactive for thousands of years, it can also produce electricity for thousands of years as well. In other words, it is a battery that never runs out,

With the wide deployment of renewable energy harvesting devices, such as solar cells and wind turbines, there is an urgency to develop high efficiency and economical energy storage systems to stabilize the intermittent and often unpredictable primary power sources before the power can be channelled to the grid safely or utilized for on-site loads.

Energy storage technologies are vital for smart grids, electric vehicles and consumer electronics. Our team has expertise in the area of energy storage materials such as materials for Li-ion and Na-ion batteries. For large scale energy storage, our team has developed a technology on Redox Flow Li-ion Battery which is suitable for large scale, high

Silica (SiO2) fibrous material is a special functional material with unique properties represented by amorphous fibre structure. These silica fibres can adsorb significantly more water than commercially available silica gel of the same mesoporous character. This feature is especially apparent in the range of medium relative humidity (30-70% RH), wh

The technology is a flexible, lightweight and solid-state supercapacitor made of conducting polymer and metal oxide composite thin film electrodes. The composite electrodes of conducting polymer and metal oxide are considered to be the most promising materials as supercapacitor electrodes due to their low cost, ease of synthesis and high capacitive

The demand for on-chip capacitor goes increasingly higher for integrated circuits (ICs) with 3D packaging technologies, because more capacitance-hungry chips are being stacked within a single IC package. However, huge surface area is required to implement those on-chip capacitors. To address this issue, a novel method of embedding capacitors into t

Li-ion batteries are currently the dominant energy storage device for high-energy applications, such as cell phones and laptops. However, in the context of sustainable development, the high cost and the relatively low energy density are difficult to meet the requirements of applications in the future. For example, electric vehicles require batterie

Ultrasonic synthetic method is used to prepare various nano-porous (nanofoam) metal current collectors, including, but not limited to, copper metal for anode and aluminum/nickel metal for cathode. The innovative nanofoam metal current collectors are used to prepare high performance lithium ion (Li-ion) battery, which shows good capacity retention a

This fuel cell technology fits discretely into consumer and medical electronics. It can recharge in seconds and run off-the-grid for years, as it does not require a power outlet. The fuel cell has been demonstrated in a hearing aid and is sutiable for personal devices.

The power source is a critical component of personal wearables and devices. The shape and form are often constrained and influenced largely by the shape of the battery in the electronic device. This technology features a flexible thin-film rechargeable battery that can conform to the shape of the product. The fast-charge capable battery has high be

The overarching issue of greenhouse gas emissions is well known in both scope and consequences. With over 30 billion tonnes of CO 2 emitted annually, humanity emits over 100 times its own weight in greenhouse gas emissions that accelerate climate change patterns unparalleled in recent history. The technology provider has developed a process to conv

Lithium ion batteries, which are the most widely used among the secondary battery types, have high capacities and cycling life. The theoretical capacity of lithium ion batteries is expected to remain at the same value in each cycle without changing the ingredients. However, this does not take place as expected and lithium ions in the battery can be

The binder, which holds electroactive material particles in electrodes, is essential to battery performance in Li-ion battery manufacturing. Traditionally, Li-ion batteries uses polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) or carboxymethyl cellulose as binders. However, there are limitations to the use of these materials. These include high preparation costs, in
