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

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

It was a pleasure to have Toby Heppenstall, ex. President of Synthomer's Adhesive Solutions Division, present during our “Adhesives Day” last week. During his presentation on the Adhesives sector, he provided an overview of some megatrends impacting the space.     These trends represent high-growth areas within the Adhesives sector, including high-tech end-uses and innovative chemistries.     Chemistry examples:  • Adhesion of new substrates, anode and cathode materials, binder resins, and conductive adhesives.  • Lamination of films, membranes, and semiconductors.  • Heat-conductive adhesives for efficient heat dissipation in various applications.    Key end-applications:  • EV batteries: Adhesives play a critical role in securing and bonding components in electric vehicle batteries.  • Solar PV: Adhesives are used in the assembly and installation of solar photovoltaic panels.    These megatrends and their applications underscore the increasing importance of adhesives in emerging and sustainable technologies and are core areas for corporate developments within the space.    #Adhesives #EnergyStorage #ChemicalApplications #AdhesivesSector

https://lnkd.in/deZ4mNJW An Israeli company whose nanomaterial enhances the properties of plastics used in cars, planes and trains is dramatically increasing its production capabilities due to growing demand from the American and European markets. The proprietary additives developed by Nemo Nanomaterials are based on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and can be mass produced in order to supplement a large range of parts. The company’s new production line will allow it to produce 50 tons of its NemoBLEND annually, while already planning a new facility that will allow it to produce hundreds of tons each year – expected to go online in 2025.

Australia’s CSIRO-Led Team Reports New Efficiency Record Global Research Leads To 11 Percent Efficiency For Printed Solar Cells In Large Area Modules https://lnkd.in/eW_-GdEZ * CSIRO-led research claims to have achieved ‘new efficiency record’ for fully roll-to-roll printed solar cells  * For individual small-area cells, they managed to reach 15.5% efficiency, while for large-area modules, the hit a maximum of 11%  * The team used perovskite solar cells, replacing gold with carbon-based inks that helps bring down the overall cost #Australia #CommonwealthScientificandIndustrialResearchOrganization(CSIRO) #perovskitecellefficiency #PerovskiteSolarCells #printedsolarfilms #RollToRollPrintedSolarCells #technology

🌟 Partner Highlight 🌟 Introducing #APOLLO consortium member - Solaveni GmbH. 💡Solaveni GmbH is an innovative company focused on advancing the field of perovskite materials, particularly through the integration of green halide chemistry techniques. These efforts are directed towards creating more sustainable environmentally friendly solar cells. Green halide chemistry involves the use of non-toxic, abundant materials in the synthesis process, significantly reducing the environmental footprint compared to traditional methods. This approach not only makes the production process safer and more sustainable but also helps in improving the efficiency and durability of perovskite solar cells. ➕ In addition to their work on green chemistry, Solaveni GmbH is at the forefront of developing innovative recycling strategies for end-of-life perovskite devices. Recognizing the importance of sustainability in the solar industry, the company has dedicated significant resources to finding efficient methods to reclaim and recycle materials from spent perovskite solar cells. These recycling strategies are designed to minimize waste and reduce the environmental impact of solar energy production. By recovering valuable materials and repurposing them into new devices, Solaveni GmbH is helping to create a more circular economy in the solar sector. 🌿 The combination of green halide chemistry and advanced recycling techniques positions Solaveni GmbH as a leader in sustainable perovskite technology development. The company’s commitment to environmental stewardship and innovation is paving the way for the next generation of solar energy solutions, making solar power more accessible, efficient, and environmentally friendly. 🤝In the #APOLLO project, Solaveni GmbH will chemically recover and recycle perovskite materials from single junction perovskite modules by a new non-hazardous solvent based approach to reduce their environmental impact after end-of-life. The reclaimed resources will be re-used in the synthesis of precursor materials to show the cyclability of the initially invested resources. Together with the WP partners, the final goal is the optimization of the material recovery rate along with a reduction of energy consumption and chemical waste.

Ensinger #Compound wishes all of you a great start into this challenging new year. A new year mostly means also new intentions on personal and company level. But where to start ? The #worldeconomy is still in an weak and uncertain situation. The #OECD in the report of 11/2023 states the following: #Globalgrowth is set to remain modest, with the impact of the necessary monetary policy tightening, weak trade and lower business and consumer confidence being increasingly felt. #Circulareconomy, #Sustainability, #Innovation are some of the hot topics. What does this mean for a material compounding company ? Our #TECACOMP portfolio in several aspects is addressing this as well: ✔ TECACOMP TRM: #tribologic optimized and #mechanical reinforced materials can reduce your #CO2footprint by less wear and friction. The #PFAS restrictions are a driving factor in our portfolio. ✔ TECACOMP HTE: very high thermal and electrical conductive materials to be used in #fuelcell or #redoxflow batteries as #bipolarplates. The last report of the U.S. department of Energy explains the importance of# recycling in #hydrogen Systems. The TECACOMP HTE materials can be recycled. ✔ TECACOMP LDS: materials for 3-dimensional #mouldedinterconnect devices help to make your #electronic device smaller and looking into #mmWave #highfrequency solutions more efficient and enables innovative solutions. Let’s start a discussion about your requirements and how Ensinger Compounds can support. A personal talk is always the best.
