Researchers at The University of Glasgow have created a flexible supercapacitor based on graphene foam, and have combined it with a flexible solar cell to form a power source for wearables. The capacitor uses layers of flexible, three-dimensional porous foam formed from graphene and silver. Capacitance was 38mF/cm2, according to the paper ‘Flexible self-charging supercapacitor based ...

AMS has boosted the performance of its existing CCS801 and CCS811 volatile organic compound (VOC) sensor IC with up-dated software. The chips sense a relative value for total VOC (TVOC), or equivalent CO2 (eCO2) Two things have changed: The 48hour initial burn-in period have been cut to an hour for three of the five operating modes. Air quality ...

LED-maker Plessey has added a 2MW ‘behind the meter’ (BTM) battery to its Plymouth fab. The battery power will earn revenue through a frequency response balancing contract with National Grid and help Plessey reduce its energy costs through peak-shaving of power supply in response to fluctuations in demand. Amber Infrastructure Limited provided funding for the ...

LTM8005 from ADI operates from a 5V to 38V input voltage range and can deliver up to 1.6A of regulated output at up to 38V – provided the necessary external capacitors and inductor are added, and the maximum 10A switch current is observed. Buck-boost, buck and SEPIC topologies are also available from the same module, ...

Norwegian researchers have discovered a way to stabilise silicon anodes for Li-ion batteries, according to the country’s Department of Energy Technology (IFE). Silicon anodes have the potential to far-exceed the lithium ion storage capacity of carbon anodes, if only they didn’t change size so much as they absorb the ions – as this physical swelling ...
