Upcycling solar glass waste to use in solid-state lithium batteries
Nanyang Technological University researchers have milled solar panel glass waste for use in cathodes used in solid state lithium metal batteries. When used as a functional filler in solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) material, the resulting battery performance was maintained over 80 charge cycles with an 8.3 % improvement over the reference device.
Ola Electric targets full 5 GWh battery cell capacity by the end of FY2026
Ola Electric says at 5 GWh scale, the cost of making the battery cell in-house will be lower than procuring it from vendors.
“Energy storage will account for half our business within three years”: Geon vice president
Khushi Kabra, Vice President–Strategy at Geon (formerly Battrixx), speaks to pv magazine on pivoting from electric vehicle (EV) batteries to building a strong foothold in the energy storage space.
How is India’s power infrastructure evolving amid global supply chain shifts?
With renewable capacity expanding, grid upgrades underway, and policies fostering local supply chains, India is navigating a complex but promising energy transition.
VGF incentive cut may raise BESS tariffs by 10%, but impact likely temporary: SBICAPS
A new report by SBICAPS anticipates that the incentive cut under the second phase of the viability gap funding (VGF) scheme for standalone battery energy storage systems (BESS) could lead to a tariff increase of around 10%. However, it adds, this increase is manageable and could be absorbed in the coming months as capex costs continue to decline.
The rise of cell-to-pack technology: What it means for two- and three-wheelers in India
India is home to one of the largest markets for two- and three-wheelers globally, and these segments play a crucial role in urban mobility, last-mile delivery, and short-distance logistics. However, current electric variants often face challenges related to weight, range, and cost—all of which cell-to-pack (CTP) technology addresses directly.
From trash to treasure: Is India ready for battery recycling revolution?
Given the demand and the unavailability of Lithium, Nickel, Cobalt, Manganese, and Rare Earth Elements (REEs) in sufficient quantities, as a nation, we may be staring at a scenario we had with crude.
Why LFP batteries are gaining traction in India’s EV ecosystem
Leading EV manufacturers and battery suppliers in India are increasingly adopting Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery technology for entry-level and mid-range EVs. This is due to a balance of cost, safety, and durability that fits the Indian market’s practical needs.
Why battery design is one of the core challenges for recycling companies?
While transitioning to renewable energy and widespread adoption of batteries is a must, recycling cannot be an afterthought. It must be built into design and supply chain decisions.
