Scientists have used a dual-functional, material-sharing strategy with ethyl viologen diiodide to achieve synergistic performance enhancement in PV-powered batteries. The system was reportedly able to power a wearable glucose monitor for 24 hours.
Researchers at CSIR-Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute thermally encapsulated organic redox molecules within multiwalled carbon nanotubes to form a stable and flowable slurry for use as high-capacity catholytes in aqueous zinc flow batteries. The assembled batteries using these catholytes exhibited excellent cycling stability at an applied current density of 1.0 mA cm⁻², with a Coulombic efficiency of 99%.
Achal Agrawal, CEO of Macsen Labs, a chemical company making bold strides into battery materials, speaks to pv magazine about the potential of sodium-ion batteries for energy storage, their journey developing Prussian White cathodes, and plans to scale this technology.
pv magazine is compiling a guide to home solar installations, aimed at those who are interested in installing but are new to the market and want to make an informed decision. We have spoken to associations, installers and industry specialists in major solar markets across the globe to compile best practice guidance and advice that aims to be applicable to home solar installations anywhere in the world.
The integrated system is claimed to efficiently provide dynamic load balancing, while supporting demand-side management and future smart grid applications. The heat pump technology comes from Mitsubishi’s Ecodan, Mr. Slim, and M heat pump series, which Evhacs modified for integration with the EV charger.
Start-ups developing technologies in fields such as solar energy, green hydrogen, energy storage, distributed renewable energy, small hydro, wind, smart grids, and clean mobility will be supported in the development and commercialization of their innovations.
It’s no secret that prices throughout the solar supply chain have been at rock bottom over the past 18 months. Alex Barrows and Molly Morgan of CRU Group explore how the market reached the imbalance that caused PV prices to crash, what this has meant for innovation, and how it might affect future technology transitions.
Researchers have designed a new switched-capacitor-based multilevel inverter topology with nine switches. They have tested it in simulations and in hardware-in-the-loop tests. Efficiency reached up to 96.5%.
The European Patent Office says China has overtaken other countries in photovoltaic patent filings over the past 15 years, while European startups and universities retain a lead in agrivoltaics and niche solar applications.
Li-S Energy has produced Australia’s first lithium metal foils at its cell production facility in Victoria, a milestone the company says supports its broader mission to commercialise high-performance lithium-sulfur and lithium metal batteries.
