With Tesla’s battery day event not too far off, and their acquisition of Maxwell Technologies last year, I thought it was worth taking a closer look at what a supercapacitor is. Some believe that supercapacitors might be integrated into future EVs. But, what exactly is a supercapacitor? And what makes them so different from batteries? Are they really the future of energy storage?

The Future Of Energy Storage Beyond Lithium Ion

The Future Of Energy Storage Beyond Lithium Ion



Over the past decade, prices for solar panels and wind farms have reached all-time lows. However, the price for lithium ion batteries, the leading energy storage technology, has remained too high. So researchers are exploring other alternatives, including flow batteries, thermal batteries, and gravity-based systems.
CORRECTION (March 14, 2020): At 12:53 we incorrectly identify the size of the energy storage market. Overall, the energy storage market is predicted to attract $620 billion dollars in investments by 2040.

The Future Of Energy Storage Beyond Lithium Ion

Will China's 18650 Battery Beat LG, Samsung, Sony & Panasonic? Let's find out!

Will China's 18650 Battery Beat LG, Samsung, Sony & Panasonic? Let's find out!



Samsung, Sony Murata, LG, Panasonic compared against three high mAh capacity 18650s made in China. Tests include ambient mAh capacity, internal resistance, cold temperature mAh capacity, and a contest using 18650 powered fans. Brands tested: LG HE4, Samsung 35E, Samsung 25R, Samsung 30Q, Sony VTC6, LG MJ1, Sony VTC5A, Panasonic, Ultrafire, ETSAIR, CASTNOO, and BXE. The Samsung, LG, and Panasonic batteries were purchased from liionwholesale.com/

It happens all the time and I fail to select the best lineup of brands to test. So, I would greatly appreciate your help. I periodically ask for a vote on which brands to test. The “vote” notification only goes out to those who have both a) subscribed and b) selected the “bell”. www.youtube.com/channel/UC2rzsm1Qi6N1X-wuOg_p0Ng?sub_confirmation=1
By the way, the testing is having a positive impact. In addition to helping viewers select the best products for their needs, product manufacturers are watching these videos. Several manufacturers have informed me that they are working to make their products even better. Thank you very much for supporting the channel by watching the commercials and through Patreon support. www.patreon.com/projectfarm, and I’m looking forward to many more product test reviews in the future.

The Future of Energy Storage - Professor Yet-Ming Chiang, MIT

The Future of Energy Storage — Professor Yet-Ming Chiang, MIT



What have been the key battery technology breakthroughs to get us to where we are now? What are some new opportunities for large-scale energy storage & what's MIT doing? What are some key lessons for startups to be successful in the battery industry?
Energy storage will play an increasingly important role in a decarbonized world. From electric vehicles to grid resiliency, batteries will impact the ultimate success of numerous industries that are critical to a low carbon society. Professor Yet-Ming Chiang, one of the world’s most prominent researchers in energy storage, will give a personal perspective on some of the challenges and opportunities for better and cheaper energy storage.
From a historical perspective, battery performance has improved steadily, but now the divergent needs for batteries in high energy density applications such as EVs (and, coming soon, electric aviation), and those for grid storage, which emphasizes ultra-low cost and earth-abundant materials, are becoming clear. He will give examples of emerging innovations that may address these different needs, including solid-state and other batteries that use alkali metal electrodes, and approaches that make use of the most widely available electroactive elements. The expectation is that the audience will come away with a realistic but exciting roadmap of possible areas of innovation for energy storage.
Finally, he will conclude with his personal experiences in building battery enterprises. Battery technologies are notoriously difficult to scale given high technology risk and high development costs. Yet-Ming will share some of the unique lessons learned at startups he has co-founded, including A123, 24M, and most recently Form Energy.
Prof. Chiang's research focuses on the design, synthesis, and characterization of advanced inorganic materials and related devices. Current topics include new cathode and anode materials for lithium ion batteries, phase transformations in electroactive materials, electrochemical device design, electrochemical-to-mechanical energy conversion, self-assembling colloids, and the stability and defect chemical properties of interfaces in inorganic materials.

How do SSDs Work? | How does your Smartphone store data? | Insanely Complex Nanoscopic Structures!



Have you ever wondered how your smartphone can store countless pictures, songs, or videos? Or, have you wondered when you download a podcast to your smartphone, where does it actually get stored? In this video, we will open up your smartphone and take a look at the inside of the memory storage microchip. This same microchip is also used to store data in solid-state drives, or SSDs in your computer, in tablets, and inside flash drives. The technology is called VNAND or V-NAND, and it's incredible how engineers were able to fit such an insane amount of memory storage capacity in such a small space.
