Novel fabrication technologies of 1D TiO
2nanotubes, vertical tin and iron–based nanowires for Li–ion microbatteriesWe present the combination of anodisation, sputtering and electrodeposition processes as a novel technology to fabricate nanoarchitectured materials. Titania nanotubes are successfully fabricated using Ti foils and Ti film on Si wafers; by simply varying the anodisation parameters a 600–900 nm range of tube length and a 50–150 nm range of tube diameter can be obtained. Iron and tin oxides ...

If Cobalt is So Bad, Why are Some Companies Still Using it in Batteries? Part 1
The terrible consequences of cobalt mining and usage are both well documented and heartbreaking. Devastating environmental impacts from extration that render large swath of land unusuable and polluted waterways. Children forced to work in dangerous and claustrophobic 'artisanal' mines (a truly sinister euphemism). Toxicity, lung disease, heart failure, and cancer from exposure, even ...

Coulombic Efficiency Demystified
Let’s say you have a 1-liter bottle of water and you pour all of its contents into another empty 1-liter bottle and then back to the original bottle. A few drops of water spill as you do so. The loss is hardly noticeable - the drops may account for only 1% of the total, so you still have 99% of the water that you started with. This example essentially illustrates Coulombic efficiency - the ...

Bredel 65 pumps eliminates AODD pump issues at major lithium battery plant
Bredel 65 hose pumps from Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group are now providing constant efficiency in ball-milling processes at a high-volume battery plant in China. Previously, ball milling was being compromised by a poorly performing AODD (air-operated double diaphragm) pump used for high-viscosity slurry recirculation. Reduced flow/efficiency and leaks were proving disruptive to the ...

Q&A: MIT Professor Donald Sadoway On The Future Of Battery Storage and Renewable Energies
For over two thousands years, scientists have experimented with ways to capture the energy of the sun. Archimedes in 212 BC, for instance, famously rigged a system of mirrors that was used to spark fires aboard enemy ships—sort of like an ancient heat ray. Over time, the methods of capturing solar energy have obviously evolved (and perhaps become a bit less dramatic) but there are ...

Power Outage Solutions: How Businesses Can Protect Themselves from Blackouts
In a few short weeks, the U.S. saw unprecedented stretches of its territory go dark. Millions of people across the nation experienced blackouts in October, feeling the first-hand wrath of a changing climate and an aging grid. On the west coast, the threat of wildfires spurred three of California’s largest utilities to cut power to millions of people; some were without power for more than ...
