As the number of IoT devices increases, so does the number of spent batteries that have to be dealt with. Making battery lifespans longer is one of the responses to this major environmental and societal challenge. The CEA Tech institutes are developing technologies and contributing to research and development projects to do just that.
IoT sensor manufacturers no longer have to choose between environmental performance and profitability thanks to a technology known as organic printed electronics. A label with an integrated impact detector for the tracking of fragile packages and other items was recently printed on a paper substrate. The self-powered sensor is sensitive enough to detect even the tiniest impacts.
CEA Liten, INES and ITE INES.2S are proud of the first issue of Observer Perspectives magazine: "PV Made in France".
EU PVSEC is the largest international conference on photovoltaic research, technologies and applications. With more than 30 oral presentations, posters and session animations, CEA-Liten, INES and ITE INES.2S will again be well represented at the 2021 edition, which will take place entirely online from 6 to 10 September.
In the framework of projects carried out in partnership with the ATAMOSTEC institute in Chile, the CEA at INES is identifying a procedure for accelerated ageing of photovoltaic panels in a desert environment.
Liten scientific report is now online!
For the first time ever, researchers have investigated different combinations of degradation mechanisms at work during the operation of PEMFCs (proton exchange membrane fuel cells) to gain new insights that could help extend lifespans.
The Institute for Energy Transition INES.2S is developing methodologies and tools for optimal management of stationary storage systems. Based on the results of tests on several battery technologies (nearly 500 references), our laboratories are developing, among other things, advanced technologies to evaluate battery status indicators (charge, health, etc.) in order to optimize their management and improve performance and life time.
The M12 meeting of the FriendSHIP project, coordinated by CEA-Liten, has been held remotely the 7th of may.
CEA has achieved average performances of about 18% for a batch of >30 single-junction flexible perovskite solar cells with a record cell at 19.18% with active surface area of 33 mm²
CEA-Liten, a CEA Tech institute, improved and updated its dimensioning software for energy systems combining fuel cells and batteries. The new release should help make developing hybrid electric vehicles more efficient.
To promote the test of bigger reversible Solid Oxide Cell (rSOC) modules, the MULTISTACK experimental platform has been built at CEA-Liten.
Congratulations to the team for the award received at the #SiliconPV2021 conference for the presentation of Jean-François LELIEVRE: "Desert Label Development for Improved Reliability and Durability of Photovoltaic Modules in Harsh Desert Conditions".
The CEA and the Pulp&Fuel consortium would like to invite you to a workshop as part of the EUBCE 29th European Biomass Conference & Exhibition.
EU-funded project TIGON has launched its presentation video on the new project website: discover how we will enhance microgrids for Europe's energy transition
Comepos is an acronym for 'Optimised Design and Construction of Positive Energy Houses', a large-scale project that evaluated the energy impact and carbon footprint of different prototypes of positive energy houses. It allowed experimenting, monitoring and analysing the performance of new solutions for different construction methods, climates and lifestyles of the inhabitants.
Evidence of its commitment to the circular economy, CEA-Liten, a CEA Tech institute, has developed an environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient method for recycling end-of-life solar photovoltaic panels.
CEA-Liten, a CEA Tech institute, has developed a battery that is lightweight, efficient, and highly reliable to power an artificial lung that can be transported in complete safety.
The CEA-Liten is strongly involved and contributed to this roadmap in particular on the circular economy of batteries.
CEA at INES reaches 18 % efficiency, 1 sun STC illumination, on perovskite modules of 10 cm² active area elaborated in air with gas assisted coating process.
The SELISI project aims to develop processes for recycling powder from sawing silicon bricks. The objective is to achieve various qualities of recycled material for recovery in different industrial sectors such as Li-ion batteries, silicon-based ceramics and photovoltaics.
École de l'Air, the military and aeronautical training school for officers of the French Air Force and Space Agency, has signed a Research and Development (R&D) partnership with CEA-Liten, Innovation Laboratory for New Energy Technologies and Nanomaterials, which is the leading European research center dedicated to energy transition. The aim: to develop a scientific ecosystem in the south of France.
