Large-Format Lithium Ion Batteries Provide Enhanced Energy Storage for Solar Generated Power

John Battaglini, Vice President, International Battery, Inc.

President Obama’s “Clean Energy Standard for America” seeks to achieve 80 percent of electricity to come from renewables and other clean energy sources by 2035. It’s an ambitious goal, however one that can be met through the help of new innovations in grid technologies. Certainly, the quest for more reliable, cleaner alternatives to fossil fuels is driving technological advancement in the smart grid.

Nano-Engineered Batteries Exhibit Remarkable Power Density, Charging More Than 40 Times Faster Than Today's Lithium-Ion Batteries

The material is called a “nanoscoop” because it resembles a cone with a scoop of ice cream on top. Nanoscoops can withstand extremely high rates of charge and discharge that would cause today’s Li-Ion batteries to rapidly deteriorate and fail.

The Future of Battery Technologies: Environmental Considerations for Lithium Batteries

Intertek

There is a growing awareness of and interest in environmental issues across all sectors of society in recent years. Many people argue that our long-term survival depends upon reducing our impact on nature and that we must stop releasing toxic materials into the environment. Batteries are not yet covered by legislation on chemicals, but the “Regulation on Batteries,” which is based on the EU Battery Directive, governs the use of certain heavy metals in batteries.
