Industrial equipment manufacturer Leroux et Lotz Technologies turned to Liten, a CEA Tech institute, to design and build a complete sample collection and analysis system for gasification reactors. The system was installed on Leroux et Lotz’ test reactor in Nantes, France.
Liten, a CEA Tech institute, leveraged its broad, deep knowledge of printed electronics and plastronics to develop a completely smooth car dashboard demonstrator with no mechanical buttons. The demonstrator was unveiled at the 2017 Geneva Auto Show.
2016 Liten Annual Report is now online!
A power-component test bench with photovoltaic-type aging capabilities was developed under the Memphis project.
Researchers at Liten, a CEA Tech institute, set out to determine whether or not micro cogeneration affects fuel-cell aging. The first long-duration tests conducted under the Propice project provided some answers.
The REACSOL solar reactor developed by Liten, a CEA Tech institute, was successfully used for high-temperature biomass gasification in tests carried out in conjunction with lab CNRS-PROMES. The results of the tests—gasification of wood-based biomass continuously fed into the reactor with concentrated solar energy as the heat source—were encouraging.
Leti and Liten, both CEA Tech institutes, developed the electronics and algorithms required to measure the internal temperature of a battery cell by estimating electrical impedance. The purpose of the solution is to detect the early signs of thermal runaway in embedded lithium-ion batteries.
Liten, a CEA Tech institute, recently joined forces with France’s energy agency ADEME to assess the benefits combining electricity storage and renewable energy production could bring to micro-grids connected to the main grid on the island of Corsica.
Silicon electrodes are among the frontrunners in the race to replace the graphite electrodes currently used in Lithium batteries. Several imaging and spectroscopy techniques have provided a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that underpin silicon electrode degradation.
For the first time ever, 60 bifacial photovoltaic modules were manufactured on the semi-automated assembly line at the Modules Platform operated by Liten, a CEA Tech institute.
Kick off Meeting INTEGRAL Project, CEA, Grenoble, France, 14-15 December 2016
Liten, a CEA Tech institute, and Safran recently developed a new low-mass, high-energy-density hybrid energy source that can operate within a wide temperature range. The R&D was commissioned by the French Directorate General for Armaments.
Construction-industry professionals are constantly on the lookout for ways to make the homes they build more energy efficient, which includes making the best use of resources in the environment to ensure effective heating and cooling.
Liten, a CEA Tech institute, recently produced the first-ever cylindrical lithium-sulfur battery. The prototype’s performance indicates a bright future for the batteries!
The Liten Scientific Report is now online.
The 2015 Liten Annual Report is now online.
Liten, a CEA Tech institute, recently developed two pieces of equipment to model hydride breathing, providing valuable insights that could help make hydrogen storage tanks more reliable.
CEA Tech institute Liten recently dimensioned, selected, and tested the components—including the battery—for a complete train on tires for tunnel construction projects. A prototype of the electric-powered train will be tested with Métalliance this fall.
Liten, a CEA Tech institute, has successfully reduced monolike silicon solar cell performance losses due to light-induced degradation to under 2%.
Improved management of water in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) could help reduce costs and lengthen lifetimes, both of which are crucial to the fuel cells’ commercial success. Research conducted at Liten, a CEA Tech institute, in conjunction with CNRS/IMFT* and PSI** has unlocked some of the secrets to further progress.
Accelerated aging tests provide valuable information about the damage batteries suffer over time. Researchers at CEA Tech in Grenoble and IRAMIS, the Institute of Matter and Radiation of the CEA’s Physical Science Division in Saclay, recently uncovered new information using a novel test in research conducted with labs LRMO (DEN/DPC), LCP, and ICMMO of the University of Paris Sud.
Lithium battery cells produced by Liten, a CEA Tech institute, have passed a first round of tests on the road to qualification for the upcoming Ariane 6 satellite launch mission.
Recent developments at Liten, a CEA Tech institute, could lay the foundations for PV modules with advanced BIST (built-in self-test) capabilities. Faults will be detected and identified in record time, without bringing PV production to a halt.
