Next Generation Lithium Ion Battery Developed at USC
Researchers at USC, , according to recently published research in Nano Research, have “developed a new lithium-ion battery design that uses porous silicon nanoparticles in place of the traditional graphite anodes to provide superior performance.” “It’s an exciting research. It opens the door for the design of the next generation lithium-ion batteries,” said Chongwu Zhou, professor at [...]
Why Green Power is Golden
Applied Materials is pleased to be recognized once again for our commitment to green energy. In the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s recent Green Power Partnership report, Applied ranked no. 15 on the list of the Top 20 Tech and Telecom companies and no. 35 on the Fortune 500 list. As I’m caught up in Olympic [...]
Printable Liquid Solar Cells Developed at USC
What would we do without nanotechnology and its potential for great things? Allowing us to scale down products to teeny objects, this revolutionary technology is all set to pave the way for liquid solar cells that can literally be printed onto surfaces. Researchers at USC are the brains behind this technology that use nanocrystals to [...]
USC Researchers Produce OPV Cells
Researchers at the University of Southern California have produced graphene/polymer sheets that can be used to create densearrays of flexible organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells. OPV cells have been proposed as a means to achieve low cost energy due to their ease ofmanufacture, lightweight and compatibility with flexible substrates. OPV devices aren’t as efficient as silicon-based [...]
