The 2007 Advanced Automotive Battery and Ultracapacitor Industry Report The 2007 Industry Report presents an up-to-the-minute analysis of the status of the current technologies and a well-informed assessment of the future of the industry. The Report provides an in-depth analysis of the latest energy-storage requirements, technological solutions, and market trends for hybrid vehicles (HEV). The study is based on recent onsite interviews with chief technologists and business development executives from 35 key industry players including automakers, system integrators and energy-storage developers.

Argonne National Laboratory Lithium-ion batteries also are being developed for other uses, including energy storage devices for electric and hybrid electric vehicles, biomedicine, and space. As battery developers work to create better lithium-ion batteries, they are faced with numerous challenges such as safety, cost, and calendar life. Under its Electrochemical Technology Program Argonne is addressing these challenges.

Betabatt Corporation Porous Silicon Tritium Batteries BetaBatt is a Houston-based company in the business of developing long-lasting reliable power sources. The Company has researched and patented a novel 3D energy conversion architecture named the DECTM Cell, based on nano-scale porous silicon. The DECTM Cell is able to convert decay electrons to electricity 10 times more efficiently than conventional 2D devices using standard semiconductor manufacturing methods.

Cymbet Corporation Cymbet™ Corporation is a privately held technology company that designs and manufactures thin film power backup devices such as rechargeable thin film batteries for semiconductor, sensor, medical and related electronic applications.

EIC Throughout its history, EIC Laboratories has been an innovator in developing new materials and processes for defense, energy, health and consumer applications. These areas are supported by EIC's capabilities in organic and polymer synthesis and synthesis of nanomaterials, such as dendrimers, star polymers, colloids, quantum dots, and nanostructured thin and thick films. The power sources group develops improved anodes, cathodes, electrolytes, catalysts and support materials for high energy density batteries, fuel cells and photovoltaics. The thin film materials and devices group applies sputtering, evaporation and plasma-enhanced chemical deposition techniques as well as photolithographic patterning of materials to develop novel devices, such as electrochromic windows, microbatteries, and biosensor arrays.

EnerDel EnerDel is developing Lithium-ion battery (LIB) solutions for automotive manufacturers that will improve the performance, fuel-efficiency and cost of HEVs. EnerDel's new, highly reliable and safe batteries are designed to be lighter in weight, occupy less space, provide more power, more energy and have a longer life than the nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries found in today's HEVs.

eVionyx eVionyx is an energy company dedicated to the development of metal-fuel-cell technology through innovative solutions that benefit humanity. We are also dedicated to profitable operation. Our mission is to help the world take advantage of solid-metal fuels and, in the process, become a leader in the global energy marketplace. The inspiration for this mission is obvious. The world we live in suffers from a lack of clean, abundant and affordable energy. On the one hand, countless internal combustion engines and fossil-fuel power plants in the developed world vent harmful emissions into the air we breathe, while, on the other hand, close to 3 billion people in the less-developed world lack sufficient access to clean energy. Despite decades of effort by numerous companies and governments to address energy problems, a fundamental need for an energy source that is abundant, inexpensive and provides power in an environmentally benign manner remains a glaring global need. Our response to this need has been the development of an inexpensive, metal-air, Revolutionary Power Cell (RPC) technology capable of meeting all of the requirements of the ideal energy source.

Group Sadoway Specific topics in applied research are the following: environmentally sound electrochemical extraction and recycling of metals, lithium solid-polymer-electrolyte batteries for portable power, high-amperage energy storage devices for stationary applications, advanced materials for use as electrodes in fused-salt electrolysis cells and batteries, electrochemical sensors, electrochemical synthesis of compound semiconductors, electrochemical synthesis of diamond coatings.

Johnson Controls As today's vehicles have become more and more sophisticated, the demand for electricity to power their myriad electronics has grown exponentially. Johnson Controls has used ingenuity and innovation to become the world's largest producer of lead-acid automotive batteries and continues to break new ground by developing advanced battery chemistries for hybrids. For us, something that just works isn't good enough if it can work better.
