Arbin Press Releases
Tesla’s Battery Day, where upcoming projects and innovations are announced to investors, was held at the end of September. There were two anticipated announcements: the million-mile battery and a battery price point of $100/kWh, the price at which analysts believe would officially place Electric Vehicles on par with Internal Combustion Engines. While no official announcement […]

You may not realize it, but batteries – and the latest innovations in the battery industry – impact nearly every part of your day-to-day life. Batteries have always helped power the world, but their applications and importance are growing all the time, particularly in the wake of movements for cleaner energy, sustainability, efficiency and more. […]
Read MoreThough most common, chemical batteries are not the only way to store energy. Another device that is constantly being researched and improved is the supercapacitor. The supercapacitor stores electricity as static rather than chemical energy. While they can’t match up to batteries in energy capacity, they do have clear advantages that secure them a place […]

A flow battery, also known as a redox flow battery (from the words reduction and oxidation), is a liquid-based rechargeable cell. In a traditional battery, the electrolyte is the medium through which electrons can travel between the cathode and anode. In a flow battery, the anode and cathode themselves are electrolyte solutions. In the most […]
Read MoreGrid Storage What would the city of the future look like? With the advent of technology, people have been speculating for decades what a future fully integrated with technology would look like. Nowadays, a city of the future is expected to not only integrate technology and the Internet of Things into every aspect of everyday […]

The chemical composition of a battery can be very delicate. The active materials within the cell work together in the energy releasing process and the choice of materials can determine the efficiency of the battery. However, undesired chemical reactions can also occur, affecting the safety and longevity of the cell. Different materials can cause unwanted […]
