Thin, flexible and printed batteries have the potential to be widely used in wearable and medical devices and will reach a market of over $400m in a decade, according to IDTechEx report Flexible, Printed and Thin Film Batteries 2015-2025: Technologies, Forecasts, Players. By Dr Xiaoxi He, Technology Analyst, IDTechEx.

Elon Musk recently announced the use of silicon by Tesla in its automotive batteries: “This is just sort of a baby step in the direction of using silicon in the anode, but we will be increasing the use”. This unusual side comment has nonetheless triggered renewed interested in the topic. IDTechEx Research has been studying the topic for some time and finds that Si anode batteries will generate more than $4bn in 2026. By Franco Gonzal...

Oakridge Global Energy Solutions recently announced its plan to fully utilise the many patents developed & owned by the company on solid-state batteries. Oakridge Global Energy Solutions will complete the last phase of pre-production prototyping in early 2016 and will be ready for full commercial product and manufacturing in late 2016 to early 2017. Commercialisation of solid-state battery indicates a new era for the $135bn addressable batter...

Advanced microelectronics are moving on from the Moore’s Law era to be More-than-Moore. Denser chips have higher internal and external clock rates, and higher power dissipation.

Scouting the market for energy harvesting for almost 7 years now has allowed IDTechEx significant insight into the markets for the technologies, the potential applications and their prospects for growth. The following list of applications comes from recent IDTechEx research that has looked into the level of maturity of a wide range of end user applications, and the technology of choice in most of them. Dr Harry Zervos, Principal Analyst & Bu...

Whilst existing battery technologies such as lead acid and lithium-ion batteries will dominate the battery market in the following 10 years, advanced and post lithium-ion batteries given the right conditions can potentially take a considerable dent of about 10% of whole battery market by 2026. This is mostly because some of them are already in use in niche segments that will present high growth in the following 10 years. Indeed advanced and post ...

Large investments have been made to enable flexible, thin sensors rather than rigid sensors. By Guillaume Chansin, Senior Technology Analyst, IDTechEx.

Forget the obsession with driverless autonomous cars; Energy Independent Vehicles (EIV) are the new megatrend according to the IDTechEx Research report Energy Independent Vehicles 2016-2026, which explores the latest developments in the booming energy autonomous vehicle industry.By Franco Gonzalez, Senior Technology Analyst, IDTechEx.

Perovskite PV efficiency gains are double those of organic PV, exciting researchers from KIMM in Korea to Dyesol in Australia. However, it can be like the little girl in the nursery rhyme: 'When she was good she was very, very good and when she was bad she was awful'. Perovoskite PV promises over 20% efficiency, low cost materials and even flexible, transparent and stretchable versions needed for new applications. Record power to weight ratio is ...
