Imagine a scenario where, instead of charging your electric car for long periods at EV charging stations, you simply exchange spent nanofluid with a newly charged one in under 5 minutes and head onto the highway with enough electricity stored to drive 400 miles! This technology is made possible by Nanoelectrofuel (NEF) flow batteries. Ever since the first patent for flow batteries was filed in 1879, the technology has been restricted to stationary energy storage applications such as for the grid or behind-the-meter storage due to its low energy density (20 Wh/kg for Vanadium redox flow batteries), which is one-tenth of that of commercial Lithium-ion batteries (160-250 Wh/kg). However, a new type of flow battery called the nanoelectrofuel battery aims to address this issue by using an energy-dense suspension of nanoparticles (nanofluid) as the electrolyte. With this approach, NEF flow batteries combine the characteristics of energy-dense solid-state batteries with the flexibility of liquid-based flow batteries. Influit Energy, a spinout of Argonne National Laboratory and Illinois Institute of Technology, is developing a battery with a targeted energy density between 550 to 850 Wh/kg. This is significantly higher than the current lithium-ion batteries, making it suitable for electric mobility.

Earlier this year Will Tope spoke on a panel at the Energy Tech Summit in Bilbao, Spain. He was on a panel discussing the future of solid-state batteries with Arfa Karani, PhD, Casper Peeters, Yan Zhu and Mike O'Kronley. There were a couple of key issues that were discussed, which remain increasingly important right now ⬇️ 🔀Pathways to Commercialisation Identifying what customers actually want from solid state batteries and the timeframe and pathways to adoption. It's critical to zoom in on a limitation of incumbent tech, and find a partner who finds that weakness very painful. 📈How we nurture transparent and holistic data sharing Avoiding the temptation to rely on isolated KPIs and ensuring we are informing the industry as better informed investors and customers are good for everyone.

Green Hydrogen is poised to play a huge role in the Energy Transition. Here’s a session on how we impact it at the molecular level.

Electro-hydrogen unit for stationary and mobile EV charging! I keep sharing my insights from ACT Expo / ACT News, since it was filled with groundbreaking innovations and inspiring connections. One standout was EODev's #GEH2 fuel cell power generator, showcasing a promising combination of hydrogen energy and EV charging for a zero-emission future. Why did I like them at once? Their solution is perfectly combining both hydrogen and EV charging technologies. Hydrogen power, a new and not yet fully explored technology, is revolutionizing the way we think about sustainable energy. And why not compete with EVs but complement each other? It was a pleasure connecting with industry leaders like Steven Munton DeSantis and Thibault Tallieu. The insights and ideas exchanged are invaluable as we continue to push the boundaries of innovation in the eMoblity industry. A big thank you to EODev for their impressive demonstration and for pioneering hydrogen power solutions. Looking forward to applying these innovations to our EV charging management software projects in Codibly! #ACTExpo #EVcharging #HydrogenPower #GreenEnergy #FutureTech #ZeroEmissions #Codibly
