One of the biggest challenges in the development and optimization of battery technology is difficulty in observing what’s happening inside of the battery itself. However, there’s a new ally in the movement toward the future of energy storage – magnetic resonance imaging, also known as MRI. This technology, which commonly conjures up images of medical […]
You may not realize it, but batteries – and the latest innovations in the battery industry – impact nearly every part of your day-to-day life. Batteries have always helped power the world, but their applications and importance are growing all the time, particularly in the wake of movements for cleaner energy, sustainability, efficiency and more.
Though most common, chemical batteries are not the only way to store energy. Another device that is constantly being researched and improved is the supercapacitor. The supercapacitor stores electricity as static rather than chemical energy. While they can’t match up to batteries in energy capacity, they do have clear advantages that secure them a place
When you think of batteries and, more specifically, Arbin’s role in the research that is driving the battery industry forward, it’s likely you picture electric vehicles and other stalwarts of the industry that have gained momentum and become more visible over the past several years. However, Arbin’s role in the battery industry extends well beyond
Weeks after a potential million-mile battery was announced, automotive company Lucid Motors has announced a new all-electric vehicle with a range of 517 miles. Most EVs currently on the market have a range of 200-300 miles. Currently, Tesla has the EV with the longest range at about 400 miles. The extra distance could significantly move
A flow battery, also known as a redox flow battery (from the words reduction and oxidation), is a liquid-based rechargeable cell. In a traditional battery, the electrolyte is the medium through which electrons can travel between the cathode and anode. In a flow battery, the anode and cathode themselves are electrolyte solutions. In the most
