A Brief History of Lithium Ion Battery Development
The Beginning of the Lithium Battery For many years, the only suitable battery for portable equipment, such as mobile computing and wireless communications was nickel-cadmium. Pioneer work on the lithium battery began in 1912, however it wasn’t until the 1970s when the first non-rechargeable lithium batteries became commercially accessible. During the oil crisis of the 1970s, an English ...

What type of batteries do the instruments use? How long do they last?
All instruments use custom made alkaline battery packs, except the LISST-Portable with touch panel display and the LISST-Portable|XR that uses rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) batteries. Older versions of the LISST-Portable uses rechargeable Nickel Metal-Hydride (NiMH) batteries. The LISST-100X and LISST-STX use a custom 9V, 42Ah battery pack composed of 18 alkaline D-cells. The LISST-HOLO ...

Design of a Portable Fuel Fired Cylindrical TPV Battery Replacement
A novel portable fuel fired cylindrical thermophotovoltaic battery charger is described. It uses an array of GaSb TPV cells along with a novel Omega recuperator design and a novel IR emitter design. Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) calculations are presented for this TPV cylinder design showing the potential for an overall fuel to electricity conversion efficiency of 10.9%. The estimated weight ...

Monitoring Off-Gasses to Guard Against Thermal Runaway Risk with Li-Ion Batteries
Lithium-Ion Batteries Rechargeable lithium-ion (“li-ion”) batteries (comprised of cells in which lithium ions move from a negative electrode through an electrolyte to a positive electrode during discharge—and the other way around when charging) were first described conceptually in the 1970s. Following initial prototype development in the 1980s, li-ion batteries became ...

Q&A: A look at solar plane attempting round-the-world trip
Two Swiss pioneers are attempting to fly around the world in a solar-powered airplane without a drop of fossil fuel. Here's a look at the plane and the pioneers behind it: HOW IS THE PLANE FLYING ONLY ON SOLAR POWER? Described by its creators as "an airborne laboratory," the single-seat Solar Impulse 2 has 17,248 ultra-efficient solar cells that transfer solar energy to four electrical motors ...

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 ...

The Advantages of Lithium-Metal Anodes
Rechargeable lithium-metal batteries have been the subject of intense research for decades, and today they seem closer than ever to reaching the marketplace. But why are lithium-metal anodes such a sought-after goal in battery science? Here, we’ll try to shed some light on the excitement around lithium metal. Why lithium? Many elements can be used in rechargeable batteries. So, what is it ...

Batteries Are the Heart of Renewable Energy
US researchers have made a vital step ahead in the pursuit to amass electricity from irregular energy resources like solar energy and wind energy. A Harvard University group has turned up with a technique to cut down the expenditure of flow battery technology that is competent of storing energy on big scales within an electrical power grid. Grid-scale storage for renewable resources could be a ...
