April 11, 2022, 1:48 a.m. Updated 35 {"title": ["", "Graphene enabled next generation battery technology"], "description": ["", "\nThe project aims to develop a graphene enable sodium ion battery. There are several markets for rechargeable batteries\nand these can the segmented into 1. The 3C or consumer electronic Market, 2. Power tools and applicances 3.\nAutomotives, 4. Industrial including stationary energy stroage. SHARP sell products in all of these markets excepting the\nautomotive market. The sodium ion battery (NIB) is being developed as a low cost alternative rechargeable battery\ntechnology. It is expected that NIB could directly replace lithium ion batteries (LIB) in all of the established and emerging\nmarkets and lead acid batteries (PbA) in the low cost applications. The direct substitution of a highly developed and\noptimised LIB technology for established applications will be time consuming and difficult to displace. SHARP are\ninterested in the emerging markets, such as stationary energy storage, where there is no currently established energy\nstorage technology and the development of new technologies will involve demonstrators and hence new technologies can\nalso be established. This project will focus on developing electrodes for a new NIB technology for longer life and higher\nvolumetric densities specifically for residential and community energy storage systems. In particular for coupling PV local\nrenewable energy generation sources with local energy storage systems. The advantages of this system are to provide a\ngreater self sufficiency to consumers, and to buffer an intermittent energy generation thus providing a greater stablity\nbetween the grid and the property.\nCurrent alternative technologies for stationary energy storage include lead acid batteries (PbA) and lithium ion (LIB). Whilst\nlead acid batteries are significantly lower cost than lithium ion their life-time is significantly lower, therefore the life time\ncosts of these technologies are similar. Sodium ion batteries (NIB)offer a lower cost alternative to LIB however NIB\nbatteries have not yet been commercialised as further development is required to optimise cycle life and performance\nproperties, specifically for the stationary energy storage markets. The addition of graphene into the electrodes is expected\nto improve the electronic transport properties of the electrodes improving the current distribution, the packing density, and\nhence the volumetric energy and performance properties of the cell.\n\n"], "extra_text": ["", "\n\nPotential Impact:\nThere are several benefits, that the resultsing graphene enabled NIB will deliver. By having a solar panel and energy\nstorage system in the home, the consumer will have a greater awareness off the local energy generation and usage in their\nhome, leading to greater energy self-sufficiency. It is highly likely that in the future, with 17% of electricity in the UK being\ngenerated by wind, there will be periods of intermittency and electricity companies may charge security of supply\npremiums. By having an energy storage device in the home this will mitigate against short intermittencies in the grid and\nallow for fluctuations in supply. On a larger community level, storing the electricity in people's homes removes the need to\nvast infrastructure and substation upgrades for increased electricity transmissions during hours of strong sunlight or other\nexcess renewable generation. It can also help towards peak demand management by using the electricity generated locally\nduring the day in the evening when generation is not possible and there is greater demand. On a larger scale; electricity\ncompanies could use domestic storage as part of the distribution network, and with smart meters could this could be\nmonitored, controlled and balanced. The Environmental benefits include less requirement for fossil fuel-powered spinning\nreserve which is necessary to maintain a stable grid, increased renewable energy generation, and less peak energy\ngeneration all of these lead to lowering CO2 emissions, and reduced losses from transmission (9-11%) due to the energy\nbeing generated and stored locally. The emergence of a different market for energy storage will stimulate R&D in\nalternative technologies and away from expensive lithium ion and the short lived lead acid batteries, and create a\nmomentum for developing new electrochemical energy storage which are currently optimised for either the automotive\nIndustry or the portable electronics market rather than the alternative markets which have different energy storage\nrequirements.\nThe impact on our need to reduce CO2 emissions should also be considered. The incorporation of an ES device will lower\nUK carbon emissions with estimated savings of 27 k tonnes CO2 in 2015.\n\n\n"], "status": ["", "Closed"]}
