Solar panels could soon be made with their own embedded battery storage in what is an Australian global first. Batteries would be laminated to the back of the panels and deliver in-built storage, making it eventually standard for them to deliver energy day or night as required. It’s one of several plans for ultra-thin, flexible…
Ultra-thin, flexible screen-printed batteries for cheap portable devices and intermittent renewable energy are closer to reality, due to a joint UNSW-University of Queensland project to further develop technology by battery energy storage firm Printed Energy and bring it to market. Backed by the energy innovator and philanthropist Trevor St Baker, founder of ERM Power and…
Flexible printed batteries used in applications ranging from skin treatment patches to parcel tracking could be on the market within three years under a project backed by high-profile coal champions Trevor St Baker and Brian Flannery. The $11 million project by Printed Energy, owned equally by the St Baker Energy Innovation Fund and Mr Flannery’s…
