An Israeli company has developed a nanomaterial-based industrial additives that allow for achieving lightweight and sustainable materials — making it an ideal component for enhancing the properties of plastics used in planes, trains, and yes even automobiles. The proprietary additives developed by Petah Tikva-based Nemo Nanomaterials can be mass produced in order to supplement a large range of parts. The additives are based on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT). VP Business Development Jonathan Antebi says he and co-founder and CEO Alexander Zinigrad began to develop the CNTs-based additives after realizing the potential of existing nanomaterial to enhance various kinds of plastics and other industrial material. “We established Nemo to take the promise of nanocarbons and bring it into industrial reality,” Antebi tells NoCamels. “A team of experts – of engineering, mechanical plastics, chemistry – enabled us to take an idea and convert it into actual up-and-running technology,” he says. #nanomaterials #nanocarbons #industrialadditives #additives #israelinnovation #israelitech #plastics

【Triboelectric Nanogenerators Using Recycled Disposable Medical Masks for Water Wave Energy Harvesting】 Advanced Functional Materials ( IF 18.5 ) Pub Date : 2024-08-02 , DOI: 10.1002/adfm.202409422 In the current daily life of people, the usage for disposable medical masks (DMMs) continues to be high. Discarded DMMs eventually become plastic pollution, threatening the marine environment seriously. At present, the common plastic recycling methods are extensive and not completely applicable for DMM recycling. In this work, according to the special structural and material characteristics of DMMs, a simple and effective recycling solution is proposed based on triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). First, a pulsed electric field system is designed and fabricated to treat the recycled films. The sterilizing rate reaches 91.8%, and the film surface potential is enhanced at the same time. Then, the feasibility of the treated films to be applied as the friction layers of TENGs is verified. Moreover, the recycled films are upgraded by chemical and physical methods, improving the output current of the basic TENG by 3.28 times. Finally, a complete TENG device is constructed to harvest water wave energy, 93.75% of which is made from recycled DMM materials. Under water waves, the power density of 18.22 W m−3 is achieved. Starting from TENG technology, this study combines circular economy and clean energy development, which is of significance for carbon neutralization. https://lnkd.in/eeZ6EfGr

New Perspective on Anode-Free All-Solid-State Batteries with Shirley Meng from University of Chicago; Argonne National Laboratory. Anode-free strategy is gaining more interest in recent years, due to its manufacturing simplicity and potential for high-energy-density batteries without safety compromise. However, the design constraints for anode-free batteries have been difficult to overcome. In this talk, I will give an update on our efforts to enable anode-free lithium-metal and anode-free sodium-metal batteries. We hope to discuss a few opportunities presented by such a strategy. https://lnkd.in/eZfQmXpd Save €150 with Discount Code 2428-SPK. #AABCEurope

We think this innovation deserves much more recognition! We are proud to bring attention to the incredible work of Olga Malinkiewicz, PhD, a pioneering Polish physicist and entrepreneur, whose innovative invention is revolutionizing the solar energy industry. As a Polish woman at the forefront of renewable energy, Olga's achievements are a source of national pride and have global significance. What are Perovskite Solar Cells? Perovskite solar cells are a groundbreaking type of photovoltaic technology that utilize perovskite-structured materials to absorb light more efficiently than traditional silicon-based cells. These cells can be printed on flexible substrates like plastic and paper using a novel inkjet printing method developed by Olga. Why is this Innovation Revolutionary? 1. Efficiency and Flexibility Perovskite materials have superior light absorption properties, resulting in higher efficiency in converting sunlight into electricity. Unlike traditional solar panels, perovskite cells are flexible and can be applied to various surfaces, including curved and portable devices. 2. Cost-Effective Production Olga's innovative inkjet printing technique enables the production of these cells at lower temperatures and costs, making solar energy solutions more affordable. 3. Sustainable and Accessible The ability to print solar cells on flexible materials expands their usability, from building facades to consumer electronics, making solar power more accessible to everyone. This technology has far-reaching implications, from reducing the cost of solar energy to enabling its use in a broader range of products and environments. Olga's work is not only advancing renewable energy but also positioning Poland as a key player in the global shift towards sustainable power solutions. 🚀 If you would like to support her and make this project more recognizable, spread the news to others and vote for Olga Malinkiewicz in the European Inventor Award!

“U.S. scientists develop #silverfree PEDOT:PSS adhesive for #shingledsolarcells ” “Researchers from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) have developed a new #silverfreeadhesive for shingled solar cells. The novel adhesive is based the #PEDOTPSS #polymer and can reportedly reduce #silver consumption to approximately 6.3 mg/W.” JUNE 20, 2024 - BLATHNAID O'DEA “A group of scientists from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) demonstrated that #conjugatedpolymers , which are a class of #electronicallyconductiveplasticmaterials , can be used as an #intrinsicallyconductiveadhesive (#ICA) to shingled solar cells together.” “#Shingledsolarpanels feature a #busbarfree structure in which only a small proportion of cells are not exposed to sunlight. The cells are bonded with #electricallyconductiveadhesive to form a shingled high-density string and the resulting strips are connected. The reduced number of busbars reduces #shadowinglosses .” https://lnkd.in/emJnXXuH? Source- original post Read all my posts #MariusPreston

Scientists determine disorder improves lithium-ion battery life What determines the cycle life of batteries? And, more importantly, how can we extend it? An international research team led by TU Delft has discovered that local disorder in the oxide cathode material increases the number of times Li-ion batteries can be charged and discharged.
