Research Overview

This edition of the Energy & Power Systems TOE features information on the use of ultrafast photocurrent spectroscopy for the development of cost-effective perovskite-based solar cells, the use of superconducting materials for contactless power transfer, which enables easy charging of electric vehicles, and the development of thermally activated electro-chemical processes to enable efficient green hydrogen generation. The TOE also features information on the fabrication of safe and compact borohydride-based fuel cells, which can be used in the mobility and power generation sectors. The TOE also focuses on innovations associated with the fabrication of decentralized linear generators, which enable effective injection of renewable energy in to the grid. The TOE additionally provides insights and the latest developments in the use of proton exchange membrane-based green hydrogen production.

The Energy and Power Systems TOE provides insights on the latest advances in the broad range of technology related to the energy industry. The topics regularly presented range from energy storage technologies (solid state batteries, solar chemical storage and other advanced energy storage devices) to non-renewable energy such as oil and gas. Special emphasis is given to emerging areas in the renewable sector such as photovoltaics, wind energy, and geothermal energy, and emerging alternative fuels such as hydrogen, syngas, ethanol and biofuels. The EPS TOE keeps clients abreast of the latest R&D developments at major corporate and academic research centers, provides competitor intelligence and helps create strategic alliances.

The Energy and Environment cluster provides global insights and intelligence on a wide variety of disruptive emerging technologies and platforms ranging from energy storage, advanced batteries, solar and wind energy, to unconventional oil, bioenergy, geothermal energy, and energy transmission.
