Dentro de las diversas actividades que consumen gran cantidad de energía, se encuentran las industrias, estimándose en algunos países que alrededor del 35% de la energía total consumida en los edificios públicos, corresponde a las grandes industrias.

Así, la gran responsabilidad que se tiene al trabajar para la colectividad, determina que en las industrias generalmente se sobredimensionen la capacidad de energía disponible, con respecto a la demandada por las mismas para evitar a toda costa la falta de confiabilidad de las instalaciones energéticas.

Es común encontrar entonces varios transformadores, las bombas de agua, dos o más enfriadores y grandes capacidades de cogeneración ociosas en la parte del tiempo.

Por todo lo anterior, resulta habitual el derroche de las dos fuentes de energía principales presentes en las industrias: eléctrica y térmica.

Nanotechnology yields a breakthrough in battery life

JohnT — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 20:41:16 +0000

Short description

A new way of building lithium-ion batteries discovered by researchers at Stanford may be able to increase mobile device battery life by an order of magnitude.

Article body

A new way of building lithium-ion batteries discovered by researchers at Stanford may be able to increase mobile device battery life by an order of magnitude.

The capacity of a normal rechargeable battery is limited by the amount of lithium ions that can be held by the battery's anode. In existing cells, the anode is made of carbon. Silicon is much more efficient for this purpose, but silicon-based batteries were considered a dead end because the silicon anodes would rapidly degrade under the extreme expansion and shrinking caused by soaking up positively charged lithium atoms while charging then releasing them during discharge.

However, Stanford researchers have developed a new process that may make silicon-based power cells both practical and more efficient. The technology involves using thousands of silicon nanowires one thousandth the thickness of a sheet of paper. The nanowires swell up to four times their original size as they absorb lithium, but resist fracturing or degrading.

The leader of the research team describes the new method as "a revolutionary development," with the potential to increase existing lithium ion battery capacities by a factor of ten.

Salt Grains Larger than Nano-size

While this research sounds promising, it's important to remember that previous claims of revolutionary battery technology, such as silver-polymer and alkaline-polymer batteries, have failed to reach mainstream implementation.

Just because an advancement works in the lab is no guarantee that it will be practical and cost-effective to build in the outside world.

New battery lasts 10 times as long

JohnT — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 21:49:32 +0000

Short description

Silicon Valley legacy of innovation continues -- with silicon

Article body

Imagine rarely having to recharge the battery of your new, all-electric car. Saving gas is just one potential benefit of a new battery that lasts 10 times longer than standard models, creator and Stanford University researcher Yi Cui said.

"It can be used in laptops. You can do international flights without charging up" or it can be used in iPods or cell phones, said Cui, an assistant professor in the Materials Science and Engineering Department.

Cui and colleagues announced the break-through battery last month, capping two years of research, he said.

The notion of a battery based on nanotechnology came about when Cui got to Stanford in 2005.

"I was very excited when this idea was demonstrated to work for the first time," Cui said.

The new battery generates 10 times as much energy as traditional batteries by getting around the tendency of silicon to break down through normal use, he said.

In standard lithium-ion batteries, the silicon expands during charging as it absorbs lithium ions, then shrinks during use as the tiny particles flow back out.

The expand-and-contract cycle causes silicon, which is in the shape of particles or layers, to degrade. But Cui's new battery uses a forest of tiny silicon wires to store ions, he said.

The nanowires, each with a diameter of one-thousandth the thickness of a sheet of paper, grow to four times their normal size but don't fracture as other silicon shapes do, he said.

With silicon intact, the battery keeps going -- including in electric-car engines, a use Cui is particularly excited about.

"You don't need to burn gasoline. You can use the battery. It has high enough energy to drive really long distances," he said.

He plans to run more lab tests to determine the battery's exact duration, but it could hit commercial markets in as little as five years, he said.

He plans to either start his own company or license the technology to others, he said.

And with abundant supply and pre-existing technology, it shouldn't cost too much, he said.

"Silicon is really abundant, the second most abundant element. The semiconductor industry is mature. [So] the cost is low," he said.

As the region's nickname implies, silicon played a crucial local role in high-tech innovations as an ideal material for semiconductors and later computer chips.

But nanotechnology, or the ability to make such small objects, is only about a decade old, Cui said.

"In previous research, they couldn't solve this problem" of preventing silicon breakage, because the pieces were too large, he said.

And while silicon has the highest known charge capacity, or ability to store lithium ions, that potential could not be unlocked earlier due to its tendency to wear out, Cui and others said in a letter describing their findings.

Cui has received phone calls from all over the world since the letter's publication online in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, he said.

Solar just got cheaper

Short description

A Silicon-Valley start-up company has produced its first commercial quantities of a new solar power technology that promises to revolutionise the industry

Article body

A Silicon-Valley start-up company has produced its first commercial quantities of a new solar power technology that promises to revolutionise the industry – particularly if its claims of being cheaper than coal are proven to be true.

Nanosolar, a company backed by Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, along with other prominent venture capitalists, and therefore very well funded, announced just before Christmas that it had produced its first solar modules, which are to be shipped to Germany where it is constructing a 1MW solar plant with the industrial giant Beck.

The technology developed by Nanosolar is radically different from other solar panels because instead of using large, heavy panels lined with silicon, it prints a thin solar film directly on a metal foil – making it light, flexible, easy to install, and, says founder Martin Roscheisen – very cheap to produce.

The San Jose-based Nanosolar developed a proprietary ink that is based on “nanoparticles” of a material called copper indium gallium selenide (CIGR), which can be printed on metal foil, which is cheaper and 20 times more conductive than stainless steel.

Other companies that also specialise in 'thin-film solar' technology also use CIGRs, but require a vacuum chamber to disperse the particles. Nanosolar says its method of printing is cheaper and more effective. It can literally produce huge rolls of the product that are metres wide and up to kilometers long.

Nanosolar has constructed a manufacturing plant in California that it says has filled its order book until mid-2009, and is about to open a second factory in Germany, where government policies on solar energy targets and feed-in tariffs have made it one of the best places in the world to develop solar technologies.

Nanotechnology is part of the so called 'third wave' of solar power devices. The first used thick silicon wafer cells, but they were cumbersome and expensive. The second used very thin silicon layers, and managed to reduce the cost by half. The third wave being led by Nanosolar uses materials than can be printed directly on to conducting surfaces, and claims to be able to cut costs to one third of previous technologies.

If the company can prove that its technology is scaleable and can deliver on its cost promises, its potential impact on renewable and other energy providers will be enormous.

Production of solar photovoltaics jumped by half in 2007 to an estimated 3,800MW worldwide, taking its total capacity to around 12,400MW.

But even though it has been the fastest growing energy source in the world, the growth of the solar power industry has been hamstrung because it has cost around three times as much as coal to produce energy.

That gap would have been reduced once carbon had been priced in to the equation, but Nanosolar threatens to turns all previous assumptions about the future for solar power on their head.

Although the solar receptors can be printed onto rolls, and can presumably be easily installed on garages, household roofs, even the sides of trucks, the company sees its best application being in open or “free field” installations that might each generate 10MW of power, enough to satisfy the needs of 5,000 to 7,000 homes.

Among the possible applications of ionic liquid in nanotechnology, ionic liquids are know to be able to act as a template for the synthesis of porous nanomaterials through their preorganized structure. Ionic liquids can also be used as a solvent and stabilizer for preparation of inorganic nanoparticles, enabling the control of particles size-growth. They can also be utilized as dispersion media for nanoparticles or as solvent for electrodeposition of nanocrystalline films of a wide range of metals that can not be electrodeposited from aqueous solutions. The expertise of IoLiTec is complemented by the company’s close collaborations with various institutes of the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft and a number of leading research groups at universities in Germany and abroad.
IoLiTec’s services include consulting and feasibility studies as well as the development of marketable products and applications based on ionic liquids, nanomaterials or the combination of both materials in new technologies. The use of ionic liquids in nanomaterial technologies has already shown important advantages in the last years and is still being investigated by academies and industries. Next to R&D services, IoLiTec offers high quality nanomaterials (metal, oxide, nitride, carbide powders fullerenes and carbon nanotubes) at very competitive prices.

CIGS is a compound of copper, indium, gallium and selenium (Cu(In,Ga)Se2). When combined in the proper ratios, these materials form a semiconductor that can be applied as a thin film to create photovoltaic cells on many carrier substrates. The CIGS ("absorber") layer absorbs photons, the first step in the transformation of solar energy to electricity.

Advantages over Crystalline Silicon
CIGS solar cells offer several advantages over crystalline silicon solar cells. In particular, CIGS cells are:
# Less expensive per Watt
# More efficient in low-angle and low-light conditions
# Extremely lightweight
# Flexible enough to conform to small-radius curves
# Stable and reliable (even self-healing) in real-world conditions

These advantages are further enhanced when incorporated with flexible encapsulants into flexible photovoltaic modules that Miasolé now manufactures in high volume.

We at Cerion Technology, Inc. believe that a US transportation industry based upon diesel power, even more desirably, diesel-electric hybrid power, will substantially lessen our dependence upon foreign oil and significantly contribute to the reduction in the growth of greenhouse gases. The attractiveness of the diesel engine's many advantages over gasoline (spark ignition) engines (25% greater thermodynamic efficiency, 50% greater oil refinery yield of diesel relative to gasoline and 30% well-to-wheel efficiency of diesel electric hybrids, compared to 13% for hydrogen fuel cells) are somewhat diminished by the diesel engine's emissions of particulate matter (soot) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). CTI's diesel products, coupled with diesel oxidation catalytic converters mandated by the 2007 EPA emissions standards directly address and ameliorate these emissions issues.
