The new scope of knowledge spillover to develop the functionality of technologies
The purpose of this study is to propose a new scope of knowledge spillover between technologies by demonstrating how knowledge spillover affects the development of technologies. We use the number of patent applications as proxy of development of technologies. As a case of this study, we group energy technologies, lithium-ion battery (LIB) as a product, into two groups using international patent ...

Reducing fire and explosion risk of lithium-ion batteries
On the 7th January 2013 cleaning staff onboard a Boeing 787 aircraft noticed smoke in the rear cabin. Closer inspection by a mechanic discovered a fire originating from the lid of the APU battery case. Fortunately, the plane was parked at Logan International Airport, USA, at the time, so none of the 183 passengers and 11 crew were hurt. Nine days later, on 16th January 2013, a Boeing 787 had to ...

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 ...

There’s a new contender in the quest for the next superbattery
It’s been nearly 40 years since the battery world had a major shake up. In 1980, a researcher at England’s University of Oxford made the first breakthrough that would eventually take lithium-ion batteries from theoretical to possible. But the industry was slow to embrace the shiny new design. It would be more than a decade before Sony decided to throw its weight behind lithium ion, ...

Keeping Battery Production Profitable and Green - Case Study
Batteries have become a key contributor in the world’s energy transition and critical in the effort to slow climate change. As a result, battery manufacturing technologies and techniques are constantly evolving as producers look to remain competitive, increase storage capacity, and improve efficiency while decreasing battery size and weight. For instance, some producers are turning to a ...

Swollen LiFePO4 Batteries? How To Prevent?
Swollen LiFePO4 batteries are the result of too much current inside a cell of the battery, which causes a build-up of heat and gas. This can be caused by overcharging, deep discharge, overheating to battery or manufacturer defects, or environmental reasons. In this article, we discuss why that happens and how you can prevent that. LiFePO4 battery swelling is one of the important physical ...
