Lithium batteries power an expanding range of technologies, from electric vehicles and commercial transportation fleets to stationary energy storage systems and grid-scale backup power installations.

Researchers from Zhejiang University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China have developed a hybrid solar module cooling technique based on radiative cooling (RC) and the use of heat pipes to ...

Indian scientists have developed a panel with an electrical efficiency of 13% and and thermal efficiency of 66.6 %. They built the system with a 100 W PV panel, a rectangular absorber, and a cooling ...

Power modules are the foundation of modern electrical systems, especially within electric vehicles (xEVs), industrial motor applications, and renewable energy solutions such as wind and solar power.

Passive thermal control relies on design features and materials like insulation layers, reflective coatings, and thermal barriers. Because passive solutions have no moving parts, they require less ...

Japan’s Toray Industries Inc. has developed a thermal conductivity technology that raises the heat-dissipating properties of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) to that of metals. Applying this ...

Heat transfer is the physical act of thermal energy being exchanged between two systems by dissipating heat. Temperature and the flow of heat are the basic principles of heat transfer. The amount of ...

The thermoelectric effect can turn waste heat into electrical energy. To make use of it, special materials with unusual properties are required. A remarkable effect has now been demonstrated, which ...
