Global Investments In Battery To Decline In 2024: Rystad Report Updated On Wed, Jul 31st, 2024 by Saurenergy Following four consecutive years of significant growth, this year is set to see a sizeable decline in global battery investments for the first time since 2020, according to Rystad Energy research. The researchers attributed this trend owing to a slump in battery infrastructure investments in mainland China for the global slowdown, as the Asian economic […] Read more
Korean Varsity Finds Way To Increase Efficiency Of Perovskite Solar Cells Updated On Wed, Jul 31st, 2024 by Saurenergy Tin halide perovskites (Sn-HPs) are promising materials for next-generation solar cell technology. However, they still face issues related to stability and conversion efficiency, requiring addressal. Recently, researchers from Korea revealed that using a special additive namely “4-phenylthiosemicarbazide “can significantly enhance the performance and durability of Sn-HP-based solar cells by controlling crystal formation, passivating defects, and […] Read more
Zinc-Bromine Batteries Set To Find Usage In Energy Storage Updated On Thu, Jul 18th, 2024 by Saurenergy The flowless zinc-bromine battery (FLZBB) is a promising alternative to flammable lithium-ion batteries due to its use of non-flammable electrolytes. However, it suffers from self-discharge due to the crossover of active materials, generated at the positive graphite felt (GF) electrode, to the negative electrode, significantly affecting performance. Now, researchers have developed a novel nitrogen-doped mesoporous […] Read more
